Edin Terzic will face his biggest test as Borussia Dortmund’s boss on Saturday when his side travels to the Allianz Arena to play league leaders Bayern Munich.
Dortmund have enjoyed a great run of the spell, winning their last four games across all competitions including the narrow win over Borussia Mönchengladbach in midweek.
