Bayern vs Dortmund Tips: 2 Bet Builders for compelling Klassiker
Two heavyweights unbeaten in all competitions this season, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund enter Der Klassiker with something to gain and everything to lose.
But which colours will you be flying this Saturday (17:30)?
We’ve put together two selections on opposite sides of the pitch to help you decide.
Tip 1 – Bayern Munich to win, BTTS & Harry Kane to score @ 13/10
Imperious. How else can you describe Bayern Munich’s domineering start to the season?
Vincent Kompany’s men have won every game in front of them this season – that’s 10 victories in 10 including their opening six in the Bundesliga, putting them well on track to match some of their grandest accomplishments.
Spearheading this run of form is Harry Kane, whose 18 goals in all competitions put him close to half of his overall tally from last season already.
The England skipper also leads the Bundesliga golden boot race with 11 – six more than the next best man in another Bayern forward, Luis Diaz – from an xG of only 5.89.
If you’re leaning red, our 13/10 Bet Builder sets you up for more of the same with Bayern Munich taking all three points, Kane finding the back of the net, but not without conceding themselves.
Despite Dortmund only conceding four league goals so far, just two of the last 10 Klassikers have ended without both sides scoring.
With Bayern looking to continue their run and Dortmund out to narrow the gap…
Tip 2 – Dortmund to Win, Serhou Guirassy to score & Gregor Kobel over 3.5 Saves @ 13/1
Dortmund’s injury-laden 2024/25 campaign saw them finish fourth; impressive by most standards but not for a team vying for the biggest accolades in the country.
Despite trailing the league leaders by four points, Niko Kovac’s men haven’t lost a single Bundesliga game since March and have not lost to their storied rivals in over two years – facts that may have gone unnoticed ahead of this upcoming clash.
Since taking over as Dortmund manager in January Kovac has implemented a tight counter-attacking system that has brought the best out of a range of names, none as prolific as Serhou Guirassy.
The Guinea international ended last season with 21 goals in the Bundesliga – not to mention the 13 he scored in the Champions League, two more than Kane, meant he shared the competition’s golden boot with Barcelona’s Raphina.
Another key component in this current unbeaten run is Gregor Kobel, whose 75% save rate has kept Dortmund in many games this season. The Swiss keeper also made nine saves in last year’s Klassiker at the Allianz Arena so he has previous in a game of this magnitude.
What’s more, goalkeepers facing Bayern have made 5.1 saves per 90 this season, suggesting another busy evening between the sticks for Dortmund’s number one.
Siding yellow with a Bet Builder made of a Borussia Dortmund win, Guirassy to add to his tally as Dortmund’s current top scorer and Kobel to make over 3.5 saves currently pays out at 13/1.
