Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are set to square off in a top-table Bundesliga six-pointer at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich are on the verge of winning a record-breaking tenth successive Bundesliga title. With second-placed Dortmund nine points behind, another victory in the famous ‘Der Klassiker’ would seal the deal for the perennial German champions. The ‘Bavarians’ have found their recent competitive H2Hs a stroll, winning seven in a row for the first time in the history of this long-standing rivalry. Indeed, Julian Nagelsmann’s men fougt back to beat Dortmund 3-2 in the reverse fixture at the Signal Iduna Park, meaning they’ve scored 3+ goals in their last three Bundesliga H2Hs. Another high-scoring contest is well on the cards, with Bayern netting a staggering 89 goals this Bundesliga season, their second-best scoring tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign. Additionally, the hosts are unbeaten in their last five home league matches (W4, D1), bagging an average of three goals per win.

In the meantime, Borussia Dortmund have enjoyed a drastic upturn in form ahead of this trip, going from back-to-back Bundesliga games without winning (D1, L1) to consecutive league wins by multi-goal margins.  ‘Die Borussen’ haven’t lost any of their seven Bundesliga away fixtures in 2022 (W5, D2), though a lack of consistency has seen them alternate between victories (3) and draws (2) across their last five league travels. Encouragingly, though, three of those five road trips have yielded clean sheets, which could prove crucial against the most prolific attack in Europe’s top-five leagues. Dortmund’s character has been off the charts in the Bundesliga this term, as Marco Rose’s men have come from behind to avoid defeat in 50% of their away Bundesliga games when conceding the opening goal (W3, D1, L4).
