Bayern Munich
Der Klassiker returns, and Bayern Munich are flying. Winners in all six Bundesliga games this season at half-time and full time, and scoring 2+ goals in all of the last 14!
Harry Kane’s form has been outrageous — scoring in almost every game. He became the first Bundesliga player to score 11 goals in the first six games of the season. Luis Diaz has also been excellent, with five goals and four assists in his six games.
Vincent Kompany’s men have looked ruthless so far, and they’ll see this as a chance to make a statement against their biggest domestic rivals.
Defensively, they’ve had some wobbles (conceding against Augsburg and TSG Hoffenheim), but going forward, they remain a machine.
Expect Bayern Munich to press high, dominate possession, and test Borussia Dortmund’s backline early.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund go to Munich with quiet confidence. They are unbeaten so far this season and have looked a lot more balanced under Niko Kovac than last year.
Four wins and two Bundesliga draws, including 1-1 against RB Leipzig in the last round, is their record so far. They kept a clean sheet in both their away games, 0-2 against Heidenheim and 0-2 against Mainz.
Still, Borussia Dortmund’s record at the Allianz isn’t great — they haven’t won there in years — and they’ll need to be flawless defensively to get something from this.
The Betting Verdict
It’s called a derby, but it hasn’t been a real derby for many years now.
Bayern Munich remained unbeaten in 13 of the last 14 duels against Borussia Dortmund across all competitions, often dominating against them.
However, their games last season were both tight, ending in draws – 1-1 in Dortmund and 2-2 in Munich.
This game screams goals to me. Bayern Munich’s attacking power is too much to ignore, but Borussia Dortmund have enough quality to land a punch of their own.
Bayern Munich to win and both teams to score looks like a solid bet to take. If you fancy something even bolder, Bayern Munich 3-1 correct score looks about right for the way these games usually go.
