Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich Odds, Predictions & Betting Tips
The reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich visit Signal Iduna Park in a top-four clash with early implications towards the German title picture on Saturday at 5:30pm.
This pair are the division's two remaining unbeaten teams, going 6-3 and 7-2 respectively, separating the hosts in 4th and Saturday's visitors in 2nd by just two points after the first quarter of the campaign.
BVB may have impressed most with their recent Champions League away win over Newcastle United, which, along with their league form, is a clear signal of intent from Edin Terzic's side for the current season. Dortmund successfully navigated a DFB Pokal second round encounter with Hoffenheim at this ground on Wednesday, leaving them in good stead for their next match, which is more than can be said for Bayern Munich.
Thomas Tuchel's men had the mother of all shocks in their midweek cup tie, eliminated from the competition by German third-tier side Saarbrucken. The likes of Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, Kim Min-jae, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller, all of whom started in that disastrous away loss, will have to pick themselves up and give a better account if Bayern Munich are to stay within touching distance of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Tips
Harry Kane Anytime Goalscorer
It's no left-field recommendation to tip up Harry Kane, a well-known prolific goalscorer, to find the net again this weekend. However, it's often the most obvious bets that reap the best rewards.
The champions' star-studded summer signing has taken no time at all to settle into his new life in Germany. Kane has 21 goal contributions in 13 matches for Bayern Munich, 14 of these being directly scored himself and 12 coming against Bundesliga opponents.
In addition to his proven track record, Kane also has a history with Borussia Dortmund. Having played them four times while donning a Spurs shirt, Kane scored in three of the four matches against this opposition - two of which came at Signal Iduna Park.
Dortmund have conceded in their last three Bundesliga games, allowing their opposition six goals during this sample. As the division's highest scorers with 34 goals, of which Kane has contributed over a third of this tally, even money for the 30-year-old to bag this weekend is a price worth grabbing.
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich is a fixture that over goals punters look out for, and for good reason. Matches between the two average 2.86 goals per encounter and this exact line has landed in five of their last eight clashes since 2020.
This season, Dortmund are averaging 2.2 goals per game, while Munich are considerably higher at 3.8 - in away matches this holds strong at 2.8 goals for Saturday's visitors, with 3.50 being averaged across their last six outings.
Last term's two meetings saw 10 goals netted between the sides, with April's 4-2 win for Bayern Munich clearing this particular line. The two look incredibly competitive right now, and rather than anticipating a cagey affair as neither team wishes to surrender their 0, we're expecting proceedings to swing the other way as two of the division's best go for the jugular and look to achieve a statement win in the 5:30pm kick-off.
