Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich: Preview and betting tips

Already on Saturday at 18:30 the Bundesliga will offer us another great spectacle. The highlight of the 14th round will be the clash between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. The favourite is clear. But will the Bavarian giant confirm its role?

For the 130th time, two of Germany’s biggest and most successful teams will face off on Saturday. Borussia Dortmund will host Bayern Munich. Der Klassiker is expected to offer a great spectacle even now.

Quite unsurprisingly, the Bavarian side has a much better record in their games against each other. The latter has won 49% of the matches (63-34-32). In addition, they have won the last six matches in the competition. Interestingly, four of these have been played in Westphalia.

However, Dortmund, although going into the game as an underdog, may not have a loss in mind before the game. After all, Borussia are experiencing their third most successful start to the new season. After 13 rounds they are only a point behind Bayern, a win would mean moving to the top of the table.

Moreover, Marco Rose’s charges are 100% at home this season, winning all 7 games. Bayern then have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine away league games, which is positive news for Dortmund.

It is also worth mentioning that Signal Iduna Park is usually the guarantee of an even match. When Borussia played in Munich in recent years, they often left with a debacle, while in Dortmund they managed to be an equal opponent, even getting three points.

So it is no exaggeration to say that Dortmund definitely have a chance on Saturday. Moreover, coach Julian Nagelsmann doesn’t exactly like Borussia. He has only beaten them once in nine games as coach.

So betting on the winner may not be entirely worthwhile. A bet on goals is more likely. Bayern average 3.23 goals per game, Dortmund 2.53. Moreover, five of the last six games have seen at least four goals scored. It should be no different now.

For Bayern, the absence of Kimmich will be a disadvantage, but a disappointed Lewandowski might want to show a healthy annoyance after not winning the Ballon d’Or. Haaland, however, needs to catch him up in the scorers table, hence he will also want to prove himself without a doubt.

Dortmund, among others, are the Polish striker’s favourite opponents. Lewandowski has already scored 24 goals for his former team. So there are several betting options, the best being goal bets.
