It may not be the battle between the first and the second as they had hoped in Germany, but one way or another, the “classic” always delivers the goods. Tonight (Saturday), German fans will “hold their breath” for the second time this season ahead of the intriguing encounter between Bayern Munich and Dortmund.

Dortmund, as is well known, comes into the game from an inferior position. It is 13 points behind the Bavarians, who are still fighting for the title and are at the top of the Bundesliga. As a result, what catches the most attention is the giant meeting between Robert and Bandowski and Arling Holland – the two leading strikers of the German league, and two of the deadliest offensive tools in the world.

Just before the opening shot, we made a comparison between the two for you so you know what to expect. Let’s start with the oldest of them: Lewandowski arrives to compete at the top of the Bundesliga conquests, with 28 goals in 22 appearances alongside eight assists. In the Champions League, the Pole “settled” for four goals. But this is when he does not meet the yellow-blacks. Against Dortmund, the team from which he moved to Bayern Munich, Lewandowski has a balance of 17 goals in the last 13 meetings.

“They have almost no weaknesses,” it was written about the two in “Kicker.” “Lewandowski has become more helpful in recent years and has developed as a team athlete. What sets him apart from the Netherlands is the good head game, something the Norwegian has not yet fully learned.”

On the other hand, the Netherlands comes with a slightly more “solid” balance sheet. He scored 17 goals in 18 league appearances, added five assists and kept the most ammunition for the Champions League – where he has scored eight goals so far. “Holland is not going, he is running – and preferably in the direct direction of the goal. Like Lewandowski, he has a huge hunger for goals, he has everything it takes to be the future of football,” Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick testified. Kicker added: “The Netherlands looks like a possible successor to the Pole, his confidence is exceptional, he is a walking goal machine.”
