Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are coming from Champions League losses and going straight to their second Bundesliga meeting of the season. With six matches to go, Bayern Munich lead the standings, seven places above Dortmund. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Hosts Bayern Munich lost 2-1 at home against Inter Milan in their Champions League quarter-final first leg in midweek. They will hope to bounce back here, though in their last two matches they failed to beat Dortmund.
As it is, four wins from the remaining games will win Bayern the Bundesliga title. With just one loss at home in the league, there isn’t much doubt that Bayern will win here.
Borussia Dortmund will be determined to frustrate Bayern Munich’s title race while propelling their own European ambitions. The last time they visited here, they left with a 2-0 win, but that was a rare victory in this fixture.
A stuttering season will be their main undoing coming into this match. Right ahead of this game, Dortmund lost 4-0 away to Barcelona in the Champions League, marking a fourth winless outing in seven matches.
They’ve really struggled on the road this season, especially in the Bundesliga. Across their 14 away league games this season, Dortmund managed just four wins. They only failed to score in four of those away matches, though.
After tough outings in midweek, these two giants of German football come face to face, both looking to bounce back. For either side, there will be very little time to recover. Playing at home, Bayern will look at this as a winnable game, especially in light of Dortmund’s away day woes.
Dortmund haven't struggled in attack as they’ve had in getting positive results on the road. We will back them to score here. Our prediction for Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund is for Bayern to win and both teams to score.
