Niko Kovac has started life in the dugout in a rather average fashion with 20 points but his opposition manager Lucien Favre has taken the league by storm leading his Dortmund side to an unbeaten start while earning 24 points in the process.
A win for the side from Ruhr will mean that the 2012 champions will extend their unbeaten start to 11 matches while taking a 7-point lead over the Bavarians. However, a win for the Bavarians means they will close the gap between the teams to a single point.
