Bayern to win Der Klassiker
Bundesliga 2026/2027 pacesetters Borussia Dortmund will look to tighten their grip on the German title in Saturday's top-of-the-table clash with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Both sides come into the game on the back of 2-game winning runs, with Dortmund's away at Sabah FK (2-1) in the UEFA Champions League – League Phase 2026/2027 being followed by a 1-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga 2026/2027.
Bayern have been unbeaten in their last 2 games, too, but in a very different style. They drew 3-3 away at Viking FK in the UEFA Champions League – League Phase 2026/2027, before hammering RB Leipzig 6-1 at home in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 and drawing 2-2 at Arsenal in the Champions League.
Stylistic clash to make for an interesting classic
Vincent Kompany's Bayern play a more fluid and possession-based game, with a very controlled tempo and a solid structure on the counter-press, whereas Niko Kovač has made Dortmund compact and dangerous in transition, quicker and more vertical in their attacks, with more wing-focused overloads. That should make for a fascinating contest at the top of the Bundesliga 2026/2027.
Kompany’s Bayern in a class of their own
Bayern attackers
- Harry Kane has been the main man in Bayern's recent form, netting 6 times in 5 as the hosts racked up 20 goals themselves, but Michael Olise has the edge as a spark in Bayern's attack, bagging 4 goals in 4 Bundesliga 2026/2027 games so far.
Dortmund forwards
- Serhou Guirassy has hit 2 of Borussia Dortmund's 4 goals in the last 5, but Fabio Silva leads the line in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 2 goals in 3 games.
Dortmund have been on a roll
Borussia Dortmund are in good form, winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 1 in their last 5 across all competitions, but Bayern should have the edge on home turf, where they have won 3 and drawn 0 in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, conceding just 2 goals.
Bayern have won 3 and drawn 2 of the last 5 meetings between these clubs, including a 2-1 victory away from home in the Super Cup 2026, but Dortmund have been much better on the road in 2026/2027, so the Allianz Arena will be a tough place to do it.
Bayern have the stats to win
The odds have Bayern as strong as 1.36 favourites for this game, with Dortmund 6.0 and the draw 5.9, but that feels a bit short as Borussia Dortmund have been unbeaten away in the league this season.
Both teams to score at 1.36 looks live, given Bayern's recent open games and Dortmund's ability to nick goals on their travels, but Over 2.5 goals at 1.2 looks a safer bet, given Bayern's attacking prowess and the potential for a tactical game.
