The starting XI with which Borussia Dortmund seeks the title

Kane and Olise start for Bayern

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich meet this Saturday with the first trophy of the German season at stake, as the two rivals battle for the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, the name given to the German Supercup since 2025.

Signal Iduna Park hosts another meeting between two of German soccer's biggest clubs in what will also be their final high-level test before the Bundesliga season begins.

Both sides enter the match with significant absences but also with new signings looking to begin the campaign by lifting a trophy.

Borussia Dortmund enters Supercup with key defensive absences

Borussia Dortmund heads into the clash against Bayern Munich without two important pieces of its defense. Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck are sidelined through injury and will miss the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.

Among Dortmund's new additions, Konstantinos Karetsas has made a positive impression despite only arriving in mid-August.

Giannis Konstantelias and Joey Veerman are also among the club's main reinforcements for the new season.

Bayern Munich enters with absences but Harry Kane available

Bayern Munich will also be without several players for the first trophy match of the season.

Jamal Musiala is unavailable due to neurological issues, while Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl continue their recoveries from muscular injuries.

Those absences leave head coach Vincent Kompany with fewer natural options in attacking midfield. Tom Bischof, who impressed during preseason, is one of the leading candidates to start in that position.

New signing Ismael Saibari provides another alternative, while fellow newcomer Nathael Brown is expected to feature at left back.

One of Bayern's biggest attacking threats will once again be Harry Kane, who only rejoined the squad last week following an extended break after the 2026 World Cup.

Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano were also given extended vacations following the tournament.

Dortmund and Bayern finish preseason with a trophy at stake

Bayern Munich enters the match after recording five victories and one defeat across six preseason games.

Its only loss came in a 2-1 defeat against fourth-tier SV Wehen, while a narrow 2-1 victory over Jeju SK during its Asian tour also raised some questions.

Borussia Dortmund experienced its own ups and downs but recovered with its victory over Arsenal ahead of the first competitive match.

Now the preparations are over.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich meet for the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup with an opportunity to officially begin the season by lifting a trophy before the Bundesliga gets underway.
