Borussia Dortmund against Bayern München - a defining fixture of German football. Traditionally speaking, BVB have been the team to avoid for Bayern München, but their record in the last ten competitive matches between the sides is largely a positive one. Bayern have claimed six wins, including the historic 2-1 triumph in the Champions League final, and lost just three times. In the first half of the current season, Pep Guardiola’s side swept them aside, winning 5-1. The most recent encounter ended goalless in Dortmund.
Their recent head-to-head record in the DFB Cup is very even. BVB won both the semi-final in 2015 and the final in 2012 (an emphatic 5-2 win) against their rivals. The following year however, Bayern had their revenge, winning 1-0 in the quarterfinal - a big step on the way to their eventual triple-winning season under Jupp Heynckes. In 2014, his successor pep Guardiola then recorded a 2-0 win with his side in the final in Berlin - two DFB Cup trophies in two seasons.
