The DFL Supercup is back for the seventh time under the current name, with Bayern Munich facing Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park.

The Supercup is a pre-season match against the Bundesliga champions and the DFB-Pokal winners. If the same team won both competitions, then second place in the league becomes their opponents. This year that was Dortmund, although they were also Bayern’s opponents in the DFB-Pokal final.

It’s a competition that occurs under different names in a variety of countries. In Spain it is known as the Spanish Super Cup, while in England it’s called the Community Shield.

Real Madrid beat Sevilla recently in extra time for the UEFA Super Cup, with Real winning the Champions League and Sevilla triumphant in the Europa League last season. In the Community Shield Manchester United were triumphant against Leicester City thanks to a Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal.

This will be the fourth time that both Bayern and Dortmund have faced each other in this fixture, with BVB winning twice and the Bavarians winning once.

Read up on how the last six Supercup matches went, and the teams that were part of the fixture.
