Bayern Munich welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening for the second Der Klassiker of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
Both sides have collected 17 points from their opening seven Bundesliga matches, with Bayern leading the table on goal difference.
Vincent Kompany's side have been particularly impressive going forward, scoring 25 goals in seven league fixtures, while Dortmund boast the division's strongest defensive record after conceding just four times.
These two sides have already clashed this season in the Supercup, with Bayern triumphing 2-1 at Signal Iduna Park back in August.
Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund Tips Summary

Bet Builder - Bayern Munich to win, Harry Kane to score first, Over 2 goals & Over 8 total corners @ 13/2
Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Best Bet: Over 9 total corners @ 8/11
The corner market looks like an appealing option. Vincent Kompany's side are averaging 9.1 corners per Bundesliga match, the highest figure in the division, while Dortmund are also productive in this department with an average of six per game.
Bayern's attacking numbers are particularly impressive, with the hosts averaging 23.3 shots and 10.1 efforts on target per match.
That level of attacking pressure should create plenty of opportunities for corners, particularly against a Dortmund defence that has conceded just four goals in seven league fixtures.
Dortmund are averaging 15.6 shots per match themselves, so the visitors should contribute to the overall corner count rather than simply defending for 90 minutes.
With both teams averaging a combined 15.1 corners per match, the line of 9.5 looks well within reach, even if the match falls short of the attacking spectacle many expect.
Alternative Bet: Bayern Munich to win and both teams to score @ 11/10
Bayern's attacking quality makes them worthy favourites, but Dortmund have enough firepower to make this a competitive contest.
The hosts have scored 25 goals in their opening seven Bundesliga matches while Dortmund have also made a strong start, collecting 17 points from seven matches and scoring 12 goals.
Their attacking output gives them a realistic chance of finding the net against a Bayern defence that has conceded six times in the league this season.
Bayern have also enjoyed plenty of success in this rivalry, losing just one of their last 17 meetings with Dortmund across all competitions.
They completed the league double last season, winning 2-1 in Munich before securing a 3-2 victory away from home, and of course won the Supercup 2-1 earlier this season.
Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund Bet Builder Tip
- Bayern Munich to win
- Harry Kane to score first
- Over 2 total goals
- Over 8 total corners
Pays 13/2
Bayern's home advantage makes them the starting point for this builder, with their attacking statistics providing plenty of encouragement.
Harry Kane is the obvious choice to score first. The England captain has scored six goals in his six previous Bundesliga appearances against Dortmund and remains central to Bayern's attacking approach.
He has scored first once before against Dortmund, while scoring Bayern’s first goal on another occasion. The former Tottenham striker also netted a hat-trick in an away fixture between the two in 2023.
Bayern's strong scoring record also makes over 2 goals an appealing addition. The hosts have averaged more than three goals per league match, while Dortmund have scored 12 times in their opening seven fixtures.
Over 8 corners completes the combination. Bayern average 9.1 corners per match, while Dortmund contribute another six, making this a market supported by both teams' attacking tendencies.
