Match preview
There is nothing more important or exciting in German football than the clash between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. This is the ultimate Bundesliga classic that you can’t afford to miss.
Bayern Munich, who struggled last season, heads to Dortmund as the league leader and the main favorite to win the Bundesliga. In 11 rounds, Vincent Kompany’s team has collected 29 points with 9 wins and 2 draws. They are 6 points ahead of second-place Eintracht Frankfurt.
In the previous Bundesliga round, Bayern Munich comfortably defeated Augsburg 3-0 at home, following convincing wins over St. Pauli (1-0) and Union Berlin (3-0). Only Bayer Leverkusen (1-1) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-3) managed to stop Bayern this season.
On Tuesday, Bayern Munich also played in the Champions League, where they narrowly defeated PSG 1-0 thanks to a goal by Kim Min-jae from a corner.
Borussia Dortmund is no longer considering a title challenge this season due to their disastrous away form. Nuri Şahin’s team has earned only 1 point away from home this season – a 0-0 draw with Werder Bremen. However, at home, the Black and Yellows have been flawless, winning all their matches. They sit in fifth place with 19 points, trailing Bayern by 10 points. Additionally, Borussia Dortmund has been plagued by injuries throughout the season.
In the 11th round, Borussia Dortmund defeated Freiburg 4-0 at home, following a 1-3 away loss to Mainz and a 2-1 home victory over RB Leipzig.
On Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund traveled to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League and secured a confident 3-0 victory. With 12 points, they have virtually secured a place in the playoffs.
Possible lineups
- Borussia Dortmund: Kobel; Ryerson, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Nmecha, Sabitzer; Bayer, Brandt, Gittens; Guirassy

Prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich
As usual, matches between these two teams tend to be very high-scoring. Considering Borussia Dortmund’s defensive struggles, I think this game will be no exception. My bet: Over 3.5 goals.
