What sort of form are the two teams in?

Dortmund eased to a 2-0 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday and with it secured a sixth successive Bundesliga victory since their 4-3 defeat to Bayern Leverkusen in early February.

Meanwhile, Bayern’s 5-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend was their seventh win in a row in all competitions as they also extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to 12 games.
