Bayern Munich vs. Dortmund Odds

Game Preview

Bayern has all 10 victories in 10 games played. They look very confident, even though the best player, Jamal Musiala, is still recovering from his tough injury. All these 10 games have seen over 2.5 goals, and the Bavarians have netted at least twice.

When analyzing only their events at the Allianz Arena, we come to the conclusion that Bayern devastates its rivals. Over the past four meetings there, the Munich team scored 18 times, allowing only one goal.

Dortmund played 9 matches so far in all the competitions, and hasn’t lost a single one. However, unlike Bayern, they didn’t win all of them. In 6 we saw them beating the rivals, while three concluded without winners.

When playing away from home, Borussia waits for the counter-attack, and their matches are either very efficient or include two goals at most. That’s the way head coach Niko Kovac does his business, because he tends to be “defense-first” away from Signal Iduna.

Bayern Munich vs. Dortmund Head to Head

After 137 Der Klassikers, Bayern has a huge lead, winning 67 games, while Dortmund has only 33 triumphs. In 37 matches, there were no winners.  

Bayern Munich vs. Dortmund Predictions

Bayern is unstoppable at home, with the Bundesliga champs ravaging its rivals. Our pick here is for the home team to cover a 1.5-goal spread, with the odds on that being quite profitable.
