orussia Dortmund will be looking to endPep Guardiola's winning start as Bayern Munich coach on Saturday when the teamsrenew their rivalry in the German Super Cup.
The Champions League finalists meet at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund for the first title of the season, one week before Bayern starts its German Cup defense and two before it begins defending its Bundesliga title.
Guardiola has overseen wins in each of Bayern's pre-season friendlies, including four-goal victories over Hamburger SV and Borussia Moenchengladbach, as well as a 2-0 win over Barcelona on Wednesday.
'I'm happy up to now but we need a bit more time,' Guardiola said after 61 goals scored and three conceded in nine games. 'Perhaps we need to improve a little up front.'
The Spanish coach took over from Jupp Heynckes, who made way after leading Bayern to an unprecedented treble.
The game will be shown live in 195 countries, reflecting the growing interest in German football since Bayern defeated Dortmund 2-1 at Wembley Stadium to become European champion in May
