Both teams come in to this cup final off of the back of shock league defeats. Hoffenheim ended Bayern’s 32-game unbeaten streak with a crushing 4-1 victory, while Dortmund went down 2-0 to Augsburg at the weekend.
BAYERN MUNICH (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; Benjamin Pavard, Niklas Sule, Lucas Hernandez, Javi Martinez; Joshua Kimmich, Corentin Tolisso; Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman, Alphonso Davies; Robert Lewandowski.
SUBS: David Alaba, Jerome Boateng, Serge Gnabry, Adrian Fein, Jamal Musiala, Alexander Nubel, Chris Richards, Malik Tillman, Joshua Zirkzee.
BORUSSIA DORTMUND (3-4-2-1): Marwin Hitz; Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, Emre Can; Thomas Meunier, Mahmoud Dahoud, Thomas Delaney, Felix Passlack; Julian Brandt, Marco Reus; Erling Haaland.
SUBS: Jude Bellingham, Stefan Drljaca, Raphael Guerreiro, Lukasz Piszczek, Reinier Jesus Carvalho, Giovanni Reyna, Nico Schulz, Axel Witsel, Marius Wolf.
As expected Hans-Dieter Flick selects his strongest side, making five changes to his last starting eleven. Lewandowski starts up front in place of Zirkzee and with Leroy Sane out injured, Champions League final match-winner Coman starts on the wing.
Lucien Favre makes six changes to the team that lost to Augsburg. Jadon Sancho and Roman Burki miss out through injury, while Bellingham, Reyna, Guerreiro and Witsel also drop out. However, Reus returns to captain the side against their rivals.
The 127th Der Klassiker is a repeat of last year’s final in which Dortmund ran out 2-0 winners over Die Roten, thanks to goals from Sancho and Paco Alcacer.
