‘Bold and hungry’ for the Super Cup against Bayern Munich

Borussia Dortmund is eager to secure a victory in the upcoming Super Cup against Bayern Munich. The German club has demonstrated an upward trend in their recent performances, with six friendly matches resulting in five wins, including a notable 3-2 win against English champions Arsenal and a 2-2 draw after overcoming a 0-2 deficit against AS Roma.

The squad is nearly complete, with the return of World Cup players Gregor Kobel and Julian Ryerson adding to BVB's strength. Coach Niko Kovac emphasizes the importance of the match, stating that Dortmund aims to win, play at home, and potentially keep the first title of the season within reach. The squad will have to leave some players out, presenting a challenge for Kovac.

Bayern Munich has strengthened their defense with Nathaniel Brown and attack with Ismael Saibari. Both teams have faced each other ten times in official Super Cup competitions, with Munich leading 5-4. Dortmund's victory in this year's match would level the record. If no winner emerges after 90 minutes, the match will proceed to a penalty shootout.
