It has been a long time since the Bundesliga has seen such an explosive top game as the upcoming duel between FC Bayern and BVB (Saturday, 6:30 p.m.). In the run-up, Lothar Matthäus committed himself to a victory for his Munich team.
Upside down world in the Bundesliga: before the 26th match day, Borussia Dortmund is enthroned at the top and travels as the hunted to the classic in the Allianz Arena, where FC Bayern wants to put things right again with their new coach Thomas Tuchel.
“A great constellation, because the outsiders are a point ahead,” FCB veteran Lothar Matthäus shared his anticipation of the cracker in the “kicker”.
However, the 62-year-old is certain that the home side will make short work of BVB. “Bayern will win because they are irritable, which is rarely pleasant for the opponent. The experience in such games, the home advantage and the winning mentality speak for them,” said the 1990 world champion.
Although “the form speaks for black and yellow”, where since the winter break “the entire structure has become more stable” and the “mentality” is finally right, “the Munich team is the favorite”, Matthäus explained.
His prognosis: “If Bayern win on Saturday, they will remain favourites. If there is a draw, it will be an open race, if BVB wins it will be very difficult for FCB.”
FC Bayern: Matthäus steps up against Nagelsmann
Today’s TV expert assumes that Tuchel will make FC Bayern “more stable again” and that from now on there will be “not so many fluctuations in performance”.
In this context, Matthäus distributed a verbal tip to the sacked trainer Julian Nagelsmann.
Many games under the ex-coach were “not Bayern-like” and “the fluctuations were too big”, it was simply “too bad”.
