Bayern Ready To Maintain Unbeaten Run Against Dortmund – Kompany

Bayern Munich coach, Vincent Kompany is targeting a victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga ‘Klassiker’ against Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.

The visitors are currently unbeaten in the league this season, and they have not conceded a goal in their last five Bundesliga matches, and seven across all competitions.

The Bavarians have recovered their domestic dominance under Vincent Kompany, who took over in the summer after they lost the league title, and the German Cup to Bayer Leverkusen last season.

They have also enjoyed a prolific season in the league, scoring 36 goals in 11 matches, while top scorer, Harry Kane has already scored 15 goals this season in the league.

Kompany is confident of victory against Dortmund, who have struggled for form this season.

He said: “We have enough experience. The players have shown they can handle games like this. We want to win. The best players need to be ready for the game.

“The last results are gone now. I just want us to win the game tomorrow. It’s the Klassiker.

“I like that these games have this special build-up. We all look forward to these games.

“If you look at the big picture, it’s important for us not to look too much at how others see our players. It’s how we see them that’s important.

“Our preparation is for the best version of the team. If they are top then they go high into their pressing game, they are extremely dangerous on the break with their speed on the wings.

“When they are at their best, they are also very, very good at building up the play. It’s not going to be an easy game, it’ll be tough.

Dortmund have lost three out of their last five matches against Bayern Munich, they are currently 10 points behind Bayern Munich in fifth.

Similarly, Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano has credited Vincent Kompany for the team’s defensive stability.

He said: “I think we have adapted very well to the style of play that our coach expects.

“We are looking to play as a team. If you watch our games, it’s not just the defenders who are defending; it’s the offensive players, too, who help us out. We are a team and when we step out onto the pitch, we play as one. That is what is helping us to be successful.”

Dortmund have won six matches in the Bundesliga this season, drawing one, and losing four to amass 19 points.
