Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

A clash of Bundesliga giants takes center stage this weekend as Borussia Dortmund host Bayern Munich at Signal Iduna Park in the latest edition of Der Klassiker.

The Bavarians enter the match in imperious form, having won their last seven matches in all competitions without conceding a goal. Vincent Kompany’s side currently sit atop the Bundesliga table, six points clear of second-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.

Dortmund, meanwhile, find themselves in fifth place after an inconsistent start to the season, although they boast a perfect home record with six wins from six league matches at Signal Iduna Park.

But Bayern's recent dominance in Dortmund will give them confidence going into this pivotal contest.

The Rekordmeister have won on five of their last six visits and have been almost perfect on the road this season, winning five of six away league games and drawing the other.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich betting picks and predictions

Bayern Munich to win and both teams to score (+162)

All of Bayern’s big-game players are fit for the game with Harry Kane arguably in the best form of his life.

Defensively, they cannot be touched and Kompany even appears to have rehabilitated Leon Goretzka, who is back alongside Joshua Kimmich in the midfield double pivot and looking like he has never been away.

That duo play a big part in screening a defense that was vulnerable at times last season.

Their confidence has been restored ahead of this clash by the seven-game clean-sheet sequence, but Dortmund’s attacking instincts are such that an eighth in a row is unlikely.

Die Schwarzgelben have scored in all eight of their home games this season, but they will need to get a second and a third if they want to stop the Bayern juggernaut.

Dortmund will be without captain Emre Can through suspension, while Karim Adeyemi remains sidelined with injury. Bayern also have injury concerns, with midfielders João Palhinha and Aleksandar Pavlović unavailable.

Despite Dortmund's strong home form, Bayern's firepower and big-game experience may prove too much for Nuri Sahin's side. Expect an entertaining encounter with goals at both ends, but the visitors should edge it.

Harry Kane 2 or More goals (+375)

Kane has scored 14 Bundesliga goals in 933 minutes this season and notched all three when Bayern beat Augsburg 3-0 at the Allianz Arena last Friday.

Seeing the England captain holding the match ball for his post-match interview is becoming a regular occurrence with last week’s treble being his eighth for the club since he joined from Tottenham 16 months ago.

Kane bagged three goals in this fixture last season and it is worth noting that he has notched seven of his eight hat-tricks in the months of September, October and November.

He is among the hottest goalscorers on the planet right now and could easily double up when faced by a Dortmund defense that was breached five times by both Stuttgart and Real Madrid earlier this season.

Total Goal Minutes 3-Way - Over 185 Mins (+110)

Der Klassiker has lived up to its billing more often than not in recent years with the fixture featuring an average of 4.5 goals per game across the last 10 meetings.

A high-scoring affair is expected on Saturday with the goal markets showing O/U 3.5 at -110 and only -250 for the ball to hit the back of the net at least three times in the clash.

However, there is still value in the total goal minutes betting with a rather conservative line of 165 to 182 minutes. That means oddsmakers project the times of all the goals in this match to add up to a number between 165 and 182.

When tallied up, the total goal minutes of Bayern’s last six away Bundesliga matches have been 268, 301, 235, 253, 235 and 22 with that last game (a 1-0 win at St Pauli) dragging the average down to 219.
