Haaland hailed as 'perfect' fit

Bayern showdown

Now Dortmund's attention turns to Tuesday's 'Der Klassiker' against leader Bayern Munich. With four points separating second-place Dortmund from their old rival, Tuesday night's game will likely go a long way to deciding the destination of this year's title.

And Cramer reckons, even without the noise of the 'Yellow Wall' to roar Dortmund on at a spectatorless Signal Iduna Park, BVB can still hope to rely on a little home advantage.

"Even without supporters, it's always a preference to play them in our stadium than in Munich," said Cramer. "Especially if you consider the last games in Munich, we lost all of them awfully.

"So, for sure, it's a big advantage to play at home. We want to compete, there are still seven games left and as long as we have a chance why should we accept that Bayern would become champion. We are ready to rumble and compete and we want to take our chances.

"It will be a very exciting game, and everything is possible. Everyone is positive and looking forward to it, and we will try to take the home advantage, even though the 81,000 people are missing."
