Matthaus: Bayern s personnel configuration is slightly better than that of Dortmund, and they will win on Saturday and win the championship with an advantage of more than 10 points

On October 17th, Bayern will have a Bundesliga match against Dortmund at home on Saturday night. In an interview with Bild before the game, German star Matthaus compared the staffing of each position of the two teams and directly predicted that Bayern will win the Bundesliga championship this season with a great advantage.

Regarding Neuer and Kerber at the goalkeeper position, Matthaus’s judgment is: Bayern has a slight advantage! Matthaus said: "They are the two best goalkeepers in Germany in the past six months. Neuer seems to have jumped into the fountain of youth. His saves are like six or seven years ago, returning to the level where he was the best goalkeeper in the world."

"As for whether he is still the best goalkeeper in the world now, that should be judged by others. I still have this for Neuer. This feeling: When you rush towards him, you may shrink a little more than when you rush towards Kerber."

As for the defense, Matthäus also believes that Bayern has the advantage. He analyzed: "The two teams have completely different defensive methods, and to a certain extent, Bayern has started to attack very high up - I don't want to compete with him. Confront any of them. They are tall, have speed, physical confrontation ability and heading advantage. "

"But Dortmund has just welcomed back Schlotterbeck, and his left foot skills are very good, especially when attacking. I would say, especially at centre-back, Bayern has a slight advantage. At full-back, the same goes for Laimer and Boy. "

As for the midfielder, Matthaus believes that Dortmund's midfielder is currently very strong: "Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha form a super double midfielder. Nmecha looks a bit like Bellingham both physically and in his playing style. Tall, with long strides and broad vision. "

He was referring to Judd Bellingham, not his brother Job Bellingham. Regarding the latter, Matthäus said: "I have watched him play twice. He is still a young player, but he has not convinced me that he can control the game in Dortmund."

Matthäus believes that the combination of Kimmich and Goretzka or Pavlovic in Bayern's center is as strong as Dortmund: "I almost think it is evenly matched, although there are definitely two German internationals in Bayern's double midfielder position", so his judgment is: a draw!

As for the offensive line, Matthaus believes that both sides are very strong: "I don't want to play against Kane, and I don't want to play against Gilasi. I don't want to compete with Adeyemi for speed, and I don't want to be dribbled by Olise."

But because of Kane, he Thinks Bayern has the advantage: "Dortmund has weapons in terms of speed. But with Kane - this is indeed a small advantage. I will use old-fashioned man-marking tactics to mark him as soon as he crosses the center line!"

As for the coaches of the two teams, Matthaus said Both praised: "Kovac is more experienced, but both of them did a great job! That's why you don't hear negative discussions about the coach now - the situation has become calm. Both of them showed great infectiousness and leadership - they really touched the players at the psychological level. Both teams are now full of enthusiasm for playing, each in their own way. Tomorrow will be a really beautiful and exciting game."

Matthaus believes: Bayern has the advantage in three items, and both sides are equally divided in the other two. Therefore, his prediction is: "I think Bayern will be slightly better in the end."

However, in his view, this also means that the championship is almost certain: "If Bayern leads Dortmund by seven points - then Dortmund is already out. I even think Bayern will eventually win the championship with an advantage of more than 10 points!"

After the current 6 rounds, Bayern leads the standings with a complete victory record, 4 points ahead of second-placed Dortmund.
