It’s the German clásico, Der Klassiker, though Borussia Dortmund are not having a classic season. After a recent uptick in form, they’re still eighth and just trying to get a ticket — any ticket — to Europe next season. Come to think of it, a 4-0 thrashing from Barcelona in their Champions League quarterfinal first leg this week might have put them off the whole business!

And then there’s Bayern Munich, back to being Bayern domestically. They’re six points clear of current adversaries Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga, and they seem to be on pace to secure Harry Kane his first career trophy. But there are still questions swirling around manager Vincent Kompany, and a recent spate of injuries — especially to thrilling young star Jamal Musiala — might have just created an opening for Dortmund here.

Joining the show to chat about all that and more is Markus Fjørtoft, a former professional footballer who now hosts The Fussball Podcast with his dad, Jan Åge Fjørtoft, who himself was a pro in the Bundesliga. Get the lowdown before it all kicks off at 12:30pm ET/5:30pm UK on Saturday.
