FC Bayern München

Goals guaranteed

The last time this fixture ended in a goalless draw was in March 2016, with Dortmund the hosts. Since then, there have been 67 goals in the last 16 meetings, averaging 4.19 goals per game.

Pavlović back in training

The Bayern starlet has returned to first-team training for the first time since undergoing a shoulder operation, courtesy of an injury sustained in Bayern's 4-0 victory over Stuttgart. As of yet, there is no date confirmed for his comeback, but Bayern hope it's before Christmas. However, it is unlikely he'll be available for selection in Der Klassiker, creating problems for Vincent Kompany as his replacement João Palhinha had to withdraw from the Portuguese national team's camp with a groin problem.

Klassiker in numbers

This will be the 111th Klassiker of the Bundesliga era. Bayern have recorded 54 wins to Dortmund's 26, scoring 223 goals and conceding 135. Thirty have ended in draws.
