A classic Bundesliga clash awaits as Borussia Dortmund hosts Bayern Munich at Signal Iduna Park in the first Der Klassiker of the season. The hosts are impeccable in front of their fans and have won every single home fixture since the start of the season. Bayern, on the other hand, will head into this derby on the back of seven consecutive wins to nil, something that is impressive in itself.

Dortmund’s home form has been nothing short of spectacular, with a perfect record in front of their fans. However, their away form is a stark contrast, and while their recent 3-0 win in the Champions League could serve as a turning point, much remains uncertain. This clash against Bayern is crucial, and Dortmund will feel confident not only due to their strong home performances but also after defeating Bayern in their last meeting in March. In the Bundesliga, Dortmund has scored 16 goals in their last 5 home matches, averaging 3.2 goals per game, although they’ve only managed one clean sheet.
Bayern Munich Team News
Heading into Der Klassiker, Bayern Munich is in superb form. Since their 4-1 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League, Vincent Kompany’s team has bounced back impressively, securing seven consecutive wins across all competitions—each one without conceding a single goal. This remarkable defensive record highlights Bayern’s resilience and organization. The Bavarians are not only top of the Bundesliga but are also unbeaten in the league this season. Their attacking prowess is equally notable, with 16 goals scored in their last 5 Bundesliga matches, demonstrating their firepower in both defence and attack. Bayern will be brimming with confidence as they head into this crucial showdown against Dortmund.
Head-to-Head-Games
Despite their recent victory, Dortmund has often been overshadowed by Bayern in this historic derby. Before their most recent win, Borussia’s last triumph over the Bavarians came in the 2019 Super Cup. Analyzing the last five meetings between the two sides, it’s clear that goals are almost guaranteed, as four out of the last five encounters featured over 3.5 goals. Additionally, both teams have scored in three of those five fixtures, suggesting another high-scoring game is likely when these two heavyweights meet again.

Borussia Dortmund – Bayern Munich Betting Prediction
Considering the head-to-head records and recent performances of both teams, I expect goals in this matchup. My prediction is for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score. Although Bayern have kept a clean sheet in seven consecutive matches, I don’t anticipate them maintaining that record against Dortmund, especially at Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund have been outstanding at home, winning every match on their turf, and they score goals freely. While they are prolific in attack, they are also vulnerable defensively, conceding regularly. With that in mind, I believe that over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring here is a good option.
