BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke optimistic before the league summit against FC Bayern

BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke is optimistic about the league summit against Bayern Munich on Saturday (6.30 p.m.).

“If you win 17 of the last 20 Bundesliga games, then you should have enough self-confidence,” said Watzke in the Sky-Interview: “In Wolfsburg we showed what we are capable of when we are reasonably complete.”

BVB are only one point behind in the top game. Watzke therefore expects a “courageous and self-confident” appearance from the DFB Cup winners: “I think we are ready.”

However, Dortmund have lost the last six competitive games against the German record champions.
