Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich clash in 2016 DFL-Supercup battle.
Borussia were showing impressive attacking and high-scoring football last season. However, it did not help them to win trophy. Tuchel’s side ended up on second spot in the Bundesliga as they earned 78 points with 82:34 goal difference. Unfortunately, they were beaten by Bayern in the German national cup in penalty shootout. This summer the hosts significantly made over the squad as they lost several leaders like Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Ilkay Gundogan and Mats Hummels, while Jakub Blaszczykowski moved to Wolfsburg. Borussia earned 110m euros and deiceded to spend them smart. Dortmund made 8 impressive transfers including return of Mario Gotze, signing of Andre Schurrle and Euro 2016 winner Raphaël Guerreiro. Borussia are hungry for trophies and they start new season with determination to battle for Bundesliga title. Beating Bayern in the Supercup may be the first step.

Bayern Munich in turn managed to win everything once again in the national league last season. Now they have new head coach and goal to win the only trophy Guardiola failed to bring in, Champions League title. This summer Ancelotti’s side signed just two players: Mats Hummels and Renato Sanches. On top of that, Bayern got rid off Gotze, Benatia, Rode and Höjbjerg. The visitors played 6 friendlies this preseason as they won 4 games out of them. But we should say Ancelotti relied on B team players mostly.
Borussia and Bayern are indeed the strongest sides in the Bundesliga. The thing is both sides know each other well that why it’s unlikely to witness high-scoring battle. Ancelotti still needs time to get used to new club, while Tuchel needs to integrate all newcomers to the squad. We do not expect many goals today.
Prediction for the match: Under 3 goals.
