Following a flurry of Bundesliga games at the weekend, attention now turns to the Super Cup where Borussia Dortmund will meet Bayern Munich once again.
The two sides will go head-to-head for the German showpiece for the sixth time in the last seven years - and fans will be hoping for a repeat of last year’s five-goal thriller.
Bayern, last year’s victors, triumphed 3-2 at the Allianz Arena, but this time it’s Dortmund with the home advantage, as boss Marco Rose looks to claim a fifth Super Cup victory over the Bundesliga champions.
There’s good news for the neutrals tonight, too, especially in the fact that these games are always entertaining - four of the last five have seen at least four goals scored with five or more coming in the last three.

There are a number of betting opportunities in this game, especially given how high-scoring it should be.
We're backing tonight's game to be a goal-fest, especially with Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski leading the line for their respective sides.
To score a brace: Erling Haaland (14/5)
Haaland scored a brace in his first Bundesliga appearance of the 2021/22 season, after 27 last season.
The previous two meetings between Dortmund and Bayern has seen Haaland hit the back of the net, with the 21-year-old scoring a brace then, too.
To have 1+ assists: Erling Haaland (13/2)
Haaland’s campaign began with a brace and three assists as Dortmund brushed aside Frankfurt.
The Norway captain assisted 12 times across all competitions last season, as well as setting up when these two sides met back in 2020 - that being a 3-2 victory to Bayern.

Dortmund continue to make do without a hefty contingent of players through injury or illness, with Thomas Meunier and Julian Brandt out after testing positive for coronavirus earlier this month.
Elsewhere, Mateu Morey and Dan-Axel Zagadou are long-term injury victims for Dortmund, but other than that, Rose has a fully fit squad at his disposal.
Bayern lost right-back Benjamin Pavard to an ankle injury before their clash with Monchengladbach, and the Frenchman may now reportedly be out of action for at least a month.
Lucas Hernandez, Marc Roca and Corentin Tolisso completed a quartet of absentees for the champions on the opening weekend, although the latter is now back in full training.
Meanwhile, Alphonso Davies played the full 90 minutes against Monchengladbach in a huge boost to Julian Nagelsmann.
