What it means

Before kick-off, Bayern were top of the Bundesliga with 17 points from 7 games, unbeaten with 5 wins and 2 draws. Dortmund were second, also on 17 points from 7 games, with the same record of 5 wins and 2 draws. Bayern had the better goal difference, 19 to 8, and the draw leaves that gap in place as the pair remain closely matched.

Bayern came in having beaten 1. FC Magdeburg 6-1 and SC Freiburg 3-1. Dortmund had won their last 3 games, including 3-2 against Werder Bremen. Neither run was broken in defeat, and the draw suits the form of both.

The head-to-head record now reads a little more evenly still. In the previous 5 meetings, Bayern won 2, Dortmund won 1 and 2 were drawn. This was another close contest.
