"Bayern Munich stormed out of the gates this season by winning 16 of 18 Bundesliga matches to claim a big lead in the title race. In January, Bayern blew leads against Augsburg and Hamburg to drop points and give Dortmund an opening to jump back into contention. Dortmund's only Bundesliga loss came at the hands of Bayern, thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Michael Olise. Dortmund is currently riding a six-game winning streak and trail Bayern by six points in the table."
""Dortmund always have a great team, both offensively and defensively," responded Dayot Upamecano (via @iMiaSanMia). "They've been very consistent this season. I always want to keep a clean sheet. But the most important thing for us is the three points. If we win and keep a clean sheet, that would be perfect for me. But that's a bonus.""
Bayern Munich won 16 of their first 18 Bundesliga matches to build a substantial lead in the title race. In January, Bayern surrendered leads against Augsburg and Hamburg, dropping points and allowing Borussia Dortmund to close the gap. Dortmund's sole league defeat this season came to Bayern, with goals by Harry Kane and Michael Olise. Dortmund is on a six-game winning run and sits six points behind Bayern. Nico Schlotterbeck offered an overly confident remark perceived as a challenge, and Dayot Upamecano emphasized that securing three points is the priority while a clean sheet would be a welcome bonus. Historically, Dortmund has only beaten Bayern once in the last 15 meetings.
