"Bayern have opened up a lead of eight points at the top of the table after last weekend's nervy 3-2 win against Eintracht Frankfurt. Vincent Kompany's men have struggled to remain flawless in Ruckrunde like they were in the first half of the season. However, Die Roten have managed to grind out results to ensure they remain a prime contender for the title."
"Borussia Dortmund suffered a heartbreak in midweek against Atalanta in the Champions League. The Italian club defeated Dortmund 4-1 in Italy to qualify for the next round on an aggregate score of 4-3. It was a big blow for Dortmund's season in Europe. However, their domestic form has been sensational in 2026, making them Die Roten's closest contender for the Bundesliga trophy."
"Manuel Neuer has not recovered in time to be fit for Der Klassiker. He has been ruled out for Saturday's game, but the German goalkeeper should return to action in the next couple of weeks. Alphonso Davies is also ruled out for the trip to Signal Iduna Park. The Canadian full-back is hoping to return to action in mid-March, provided how his recovery pans out."
Bayern Munich travels to Signal Iduna Park to face Borussia Dortmund in a pivotal Bundesliga title race encounter. Bayern holds an eight-point lead after a 3-2 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, though they have shown inconsistency in the second half of the season compared to their first-half dominance. Dortmund remains their closest challenger despite suffering a devastating 4-1 Champions League loss to Atalanta midweek, but maintains strong domestic form. Bayern will be without goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, left-back Alphonso Davies, and Hiroki Ito due to injuries. Jonas Urbig will deputize in goal for the crucial match.
