Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Tips: 3 Der Klassiker Best Bets
The latest Der Klassiker comes at an intriguing point in the Bundesliga season.
Borussia Dortmund are just eight points behind the Bavarian behemoth Bayern Munich, yet both teams have lost a solitary game all season long.
It’s the draws that are proving costly for Dortmund; they have dropped two points on four more occasions than Bayern.
And the next closest team to Bayern is Hoffenheim, who are 14 points behind.
It’s safe to say it all comes down to this. The title will be all but rubber-stamped if Bayern can get the win.
If Dortmund win, however, the title race opens up a fraction.
Below, we explore three best bets ahead of the upcoming Klassiker. Why will Harry Kane find the scoresheet yet again? Why will there be goals? And who is the most likely player to find the net for Dortmund?
We delve into all that and more in our full betting preview below…

Harry Kane to score 2+ goals @ 33/10
There are few strikers in world football in the form of Kane – and he tends to save his most ruthless performances for high-profile fixtures.
There are no fixtures with a higher profile in Germany than Der Klassiker.
The England captain has scored two or more goals in three of his last four games in all competitions and has bagged at least one goal in eight of his last 10 matches in all competitions to boot.
He has four goals in his five appearances in this match, albeit three of those came in a hat-trick on his Der Klassiker debut back in 2023.
In his current groove, odds of 33/10 for Kane to grab at least a brace looks very difficult to ignore.
What you need to win: Harry Kane to score at minimum of two goals in the match
BTTS & over 3.5 total goals @ 4/5
This is a slightly skinny price but history shows it’s a good thing.
In each of the last three games between these two, both teams have scored.
Across the last 10 meetings, there has been an average of 3.8 goals per game.
Bayern have bagged 15 goals in their previous five games coming into this while Dortmund have 11 in their previous five.
They both like to score lots of goals and this is a fixture with a history of lots of goals. The price feels about right for that.
What you need to win: Each of Dortmund and Bayern to score at least one goal and the match to contain a minimum of four goals in total
Maximilian Beier to score anytime @ 33/10
Maximilian Beier enters this fixture with strong underlying numbers, scoring seven goals in the Bundesliga this season from around 0.53 expected goals per 90 minutes, which places him in the top percentile for goal threat in the league.
He’s contributed to 10 goal contributions already, showing he’s consistently involved in Dortmund’s attacking output rather than a one-off scorer.
We like him to find the net here in a high-scoring affair.
What you need to win: Maximilian Beier to score at least one goal at any point in the game
