They have only lost one out of their last 14 outings and are atop the standings. [Bayern Munich ](https://www.goal.com/en/team/bayern-m%C3%BCnchen/apoawtpvac4zqlancmvw4nk4o)will take on [Borussia Dortmund](https://www.goal.com/en/team/borussia-dortmund/dt4pinj0vw0t0cvz7za6mhmzy) in Der Klassiker in the [Bundesliga](https://www.goal.com/en/bundesliga/6by3h89i2eykc341oz7lv1ddd) on Saturday.

The title showdown with Borussia Dortmund suggests a short-term punt but Thomas Tuchel's appointment may give Bayern Munich their best shot at stability.

The obvious point to make here, and one borne out by Tuchel’s body of work at Mainz, Dortmund and Paris, is that clearly he is better than a stop-gap coach. “It’s not the time for big changes in systems or tactics,” Tuchel said at his Bayern unveiling, and the urgency of the tests ahead suggests that pragmatism will define his early weeks in the job. The short-term priority will be to strengthen a defence that has kept just two clean sheets in its past 10 games, which suggests the three-man defence he employed at Chelsea may well be repeated on Saturday. Has the club that like to plot out their managerial changes years in advance succumbed to the sugar-fix of the new-manager bounce? “This is not what Bayern stands for,” the current sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic, said scornfully after the defeat to Leverkusen, and in retrospect this was the point at which we should have realised that change was coming. The abortive reign of Carlo Ancelotti in 2016 seems to have warned the club hierarchy off the allure of the star foreign manager.

Bayern Munich looked more structured in Thomas Tuchel's first match in charge, and now they are back on top in the Bundesliga race.

Now, it is likely that Bayern can carry momentum into the Champions League quarterfinals tie against [Manchester City](/soccer/team?id=382). Bayern Munich got on the front foot early, but their opening goal came from a shocking error by Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. Whether it was justified to sack Nagelsmann remains debatable, but perhaps it pays off in the short term that Bayern's board sacrificed what was once considered their generational coaching talent. [Leon Goretzka](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/174550/Leon-Goretzka), who was on paper a centre midfielder in Bayern's 4-2-3-1, moved forward and distracted Dortmund's holding midfielder on many occasions.

If this was a glimpse of the future of Bayern under Tuchel, it was terrifying for the competition. Everyone knew what they were doing and they did so collectively because it was easy enough for everyone to understand, even for a side that had only met their new coach 48 hours earlier. Bayern could have pushed on to utterly destroy their hapless opponents but they were content to play cat and mouse with them, letting them live just enough to add two meaningless goals late on in a 4-2 defeat. Once Gregor Kobel catastrophically mishit a clearance into his own net — Leroy Sane could have had the final touch but let the ball trickle into the empty net so as not to disturb the moment’s sublime absurdity — Bayern regained their composure and Dortmund lost theirs. And yet, the non-contest at Allianz Arena offered up a strange twist. He later admitted the anxiousness had spread from him to the players, like a nasty virus.
