The match will take place at Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund's home stadium, with Niko Kovac's side featuring in the Supercup thanks to its second-place finish in the Bundesliga last term.

Bayern, meanwhile, won both the league and the DFB-Pokal under Kompany, setting up the latest clash in this storied heated rivalry.

Dortmund and Bayern will meet for the 140th time since the Bundesliga's inception, making it the most played fixture in German professional football.

Kompany insists he is unfazed at the prospect of facing Dortmund at home, rather he is relishing the chance to win silverware at the home of his club's biggest rival.

"That doesn't bother me. It would be great if we could win a title in Dortmund," Kompany said.

"Maybe it could have been with 50-50 fans; that would have added a bit more of a final atmosphere. But winning a title away in Dortmund would also be very nice.

"The quality and power of the Dortmund team is high. There's no tougher challenge in the Bundesliga."

Dortmund boss Kovac is taking part in the Supercup for the third time as a coach, with his first two appearances coming with Bayern.

"We're at the start of the season. No one really knows where they stand yet," Kovac said.

"That's why this game will be an indicator. We want to win this game – we're playing at home. The first title is up for grabs, and we'd love to keep it here."
