Der Klassiker, also known as the ‘German Clasico’, is the name given to any match between these two German sides. They are two of the most successful teams in German football. The rivalry grew during the 1990s when Borussia Dortmund started challenging for trophies again after an almost 30 year long period as a more average side.

The visiting Borussia Dortmund played their last game only four days ago, a DFB Pokal match. That game was also an away game, at Borussia M'gladbach. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
