The top two clubs in the German Bundesliga table will do battle today in a league match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The first-division clash scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich and can be live streamed here.
Though Bayern Munich have already been crowned champions of the German Bundesliga, this is still Der Klassiker—the German Clásico. This is still a match Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp is eager to win (h/t to Soccerway). "I have to see who will be available for Saturday against Bayern Munich and I have not decided yet," Klopp said. "Next Tuesday is the end of four [tough] weeks, but in Munich it is about three points," he added.
"We will not give something away, however, we also have to see who will be available."
