Bayern Munich Chase First Trophy of the Season
Bayern arrive as favourites after sweeping the Bundesliga title and DFB-Pokal last season. Kompany’s squad enjoyed a strong pre-season run, including a win over RB Leipzig, and go into the fixture full of confidence, per the official Bayern preview. Harry Kane remains their central attacking outlet, but the club will be without Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl, opening the door for other forwards to step up.
Dortmund Ready for Home Challenge
Dortmund secured their Supercup spot by finishing second in the Bundesliga. Kovač’s side will lean on the Signal Iduna Park atmosphere to unsettle their historic rivals, having strengthened the squad over the summer to help close the gap on Bayern. Their final pre-season outing ended in a 2-2 draw with AS Roma, a result that showed both attacking sharpness and defensive gaps still to fix. The hosts will be without Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can, while Carney Chukwuemeka remains a doubt.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 10th Supercup meeting between the two sides, with Bayern holding a narrow edge of five wins to Dortmund’s four, as confirmed by Goal’s preview. Bayern also carry the stronger overall competitive record, though Dortmund have repeatedly proven capable of troubling their rivals on home turf.
Players to Watch
Harry Kane – Bayern Munich: Kane’s movement and finishing continue to make him one of Europe’s toughest forwards to contain, and his form could decide a match expected to produce chances.
Michael Olise – Bayern Munich: Olise’s creativity and dribbling from wide areas give Bayern a constant threat against Dortmund’s back line.
Serhou Guirassy – Borussia Dortmund: Guirassy scored in the draw with Roma and will lead Dortmund’s attack against a well-organised Bayern defence.
