Kovac: Dortmund are good but Bayern are on another level, they are favorites to win the derby

October 15th: Dortmund coach Kovac was interviewed and looked forward to the next German national derby against Bayern.

Kovac said: "We have to admit that we are a big club, but Bayern is the champion with a record number of titles, they are the team with the most titles so far. They have really top and expensive players, and we also have very good players, so I firmly believe We are a top team. But Bayern is at another level, and the record proves this, which must be admitted. We do not want to exaggerate the advantages that do not exist, but Bayern is better at the moment, which is why Bayern coach Kompany is the number one favorite. Having previously stated that form does not matter in such a major match, Kovac said: "Yes, of course. Every game has its own unique story and this is a very important matchup. I hope that all the players on both sides can stay healthy so that it can really present a top-level matchup. Anyone in the game can Anything can happen and I totally agree with that. But you can't ignore the fact that Bayern are top of the table for a reason, they're first in the Champions League and first in the Bundesliga. That means Kompany is trying to play it down a little bit, but I've been in this business long enough to not be fooled."
