MUNICH, Germany : Bayern Munich's shock German Cup loss to third division Saarbruecken was painful but the team are confident of winning Saturday's Bundesliga clash at Borussia Dortmund, coach Thomas Tuchel said on Friday.
Borussia Dortmund's home clash with injury-ravaged Bayern Munich on Saturday is their best chance to beat their bitter rivals in years. Bayern have not lost to Dortmund in the league in five years but travel north missing several stars, particularly in defence. The German champions confirmed on Thursday that Matthijs de Ligt will miss several games with a knee ligament injury. Fellow centre-back Dayot Upamecano is sidelined by a hamstring tear, meaning Kim Min-jae could be the only recognised central defender in Saturday's squad.
It would be tempting, in the aftermath of Bayern Munich’s chastening 2-1 defeat by third-division Saarbrucken in the German Cup, to wonder how seriously Bayern take what they, perhaps, regard as minor silverware.

Bayern Munich crashed out of the German Cup in the second round for the third time in four years after a remarkable 2-1 loss at third-division Saarbruecken on Wednesday, thanks to a last-minute winner from Marcel Gaus. With the scores locked at 1-1 and the match looking destined for extra time, defender Gaus netted in the sixth minute of injury time to grab his team a famous victory. "When a first-division team like Bayern comes to Saarbruecken and loses, then we did something wrong," veteran Thomas Mueller told ARD after the match.
