Kane unlikely to play major role

The Bayern striker was apprehensive over how much he'll play against Dortmund having only recently returned to training, saying: "I've already spoken to the coach about it. It's only been a week of preseason, but I'm used to this quick transition. I've played in these tournaments almost every year in my career."

Dortmund strengthen ahead of Supercup meeting

BVB have confirmed the signing of talented Greek midfielder Giannis Konstantelias from PAOK on a five-year deal.

Eleven and counting

Bayern are the most successful team in the history of the Supercup, having won it on no fewer than 11 occasions. Dortmund (six) and Werder Bremen (three) have both won the competition multiple times, while six teams - Kaiserslautern, VfB Stuttgart, Schalke, Wolfsburg, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen - have lifted the trophy once.

Level pegging at Signal Iduna Park

This is the seventh time since 2013 that the Supercup has been staged at Dortmund's home. All six meetings to date have been between Dortmund and Bayern, with both sides lifting the trophy on three occasions.

Recent history favours Bayern

The Bavarians have lost just one of their past 16 meetings with Dortmund, winning 12 and drawing three. Bayern are unbeaten in eight at Signal Iduna Park against Borussia, whose last win over the record Bundesliga champions on home soil was a 2-0 Supercup success seven years ago.
