In the 24th round of the German Bundesliga 1, a match between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich will take place on February 28, 2026. With a win, the visitors will all but end the suspense in the title race.
The club from Signal Iduna Park had a poor last season, but a year ago Nico Kovac arrived and managed to lift his new team to fourth place. As a result, they started again in the Champions League, where they advanced to the playoffs.
Against Atalanta, they won the first match but then suffered a crushing 1-4 defeat and were eliminated. They also lost to Bayer Leverkusen at home early in the domestic cup in winter. Nevertheless, they have confidently secured the second spot in the Bundesliga. However, against RB Leipzig, they only managed a goalless draw.
The Munich giants, under Kompany’s management, reclaimed the “silver salad bowl” last season. Now, they are performing well everywhere. After winning the Super Cup of their country, the Germans confidently advanced through the main stage of the Champions League. Recently, after defeating RB Leipzig, they reached the semifinals of the German Cup. And in the Bundesliga, the title race lacks intrigue due to their consistent victories.
Brandt and company are performing well: averaging 2.13 goals scored and 0.96 conceded per match. But the titleholders impress even more, especially in attack: 3.70 goals scored and 0.91 conceded per match.
