Jurgen Klopp: 'Borussia Dortmund can beat Bayern Munich'

Klopp eyes Bayern win

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp believes that his side can defeat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.

The defender German champions will head into the Bundesliga clash 11 points behind the Bavarian giants in third place.

"We have the possibility to cause Bayern some trouble," he said. "We beat them five times in the league but we lost in the Super Cup.

"We tried to play our game in that match, but they were so aggressive and we really felt what it means to play against them this year.

"Anyway, if we can put all our quality on the pitch, we will see. There are not many clubs in the Bundesliga that are as difficult to play against as us. That is our task."

However, Klopp admits that Bayern are favourites for Saturday's encounter.

"There are no guarantees of a good result," he said. "Of course, Bayern are favourites. They are playing at home and they are 11 points clear.

"It seems as if they have played well all season. But we have a duty to go there and make it difficult for them and that is what makes this match interesting."

Dortmund won the Bundesliga in 2011 and 2012.
