Harry Kane will make his first appearance since being crowned 2026 Ballon d'Or winner and they don't come much bigger than Der Klassiker.
Kane pipped Real Madrid sensation Kylian Mbappe to the prestigious award on Monday night to cap off a truly remarkable season where the striker netted 73 goals for club and country.
The England captain will be planning to celebrate his newly crowned status by inspiring his Bayern Munich side to victory in the absence of head coach Vincent Kompany, who will be watching from home after being taken ill at the club's training ground last Friday. His assistant, Aaron Danks, will instead lead the Bavarians.
Bayern and Dortmund are level on points with five wins from seven matches heading into Saturday's contest and it has all of the ingredients to be a fascinating encounter.
Only goal difference splits the two teams ahead of kick-off on Saturday and while Bayern have continued to terrorise Bundesliga defences with their obscene attacking talent, Dortmund have been stifling opponents with their watertight rearguard.
No side has conceded fewer than Dortmund's four league goals so far this term and Niko Kovač's outfit are a difficult unit to break down.
However, there is additional pressure on their defence to thwart Bayern's superstars given that their own attacking department have been struggling to fire. BVB have netted 12 times, with Serhou Guirassy, Maximilian Beier and Felix Nmecha sharing the goals at two apiece.
For Bayern, it's Michael Olise who leads the goalscoring charts, not Kane. The Frenchman has been in emphatic form, scoring six goals and three assists in the Bundesliga alongside his three goal contributions in the UEFA Champions League.
Olise is priced at 11/8 to score or assist at the Allianz Arena, a venue where Bayern have been imperious, scoring 18 goals in just three matches.
Bayern have won the previous three meetings against their Klassiker rivals, but Dortmund did at least score in each of those contests. Both teams to score has landed in 13 of the previous 15 encounter between the two teams, including the DFL-Supercup fixture in August where Bayern prevailed 2-1.
