These two German heavyweights come into this clash in top form, both with their unbeaten records intact after six Bundesliga games, so it is finely poised to be another cracker.

Dortmund travel to the Allianz Arena as underdogs, but they took four points from Bayern in Der Klassiker last season, holding on for a 2-2 draw when they last met in Munich back in April.

4 Selections @ 3.60

Bayern Munich to Win @ 1.33

With a record of four wins and two draws from their six league games this season, Dortmund’s start has been positive and they have continued their good form under Niko Kovac. However, that is still not good enough to top their rivals Bayern Munich, who have simply been on another level this campaign.

The Bavarian giants have already scored 25 goals from their six matches, conceding just three in return. Unsurprisingly, they have taken maximum points from their six Bundesliga games, while also winning both of their Champions League outings.

A few defensive frailties have been apparent for Dortmund this season already, particularly against the stronger sides. The Black and Yellow were held to a draw in round one of the Champions League this season, drawing 4-4 against Juventus after conceding twice in stoppage time. They also drew 1-1 against RB Leipzig just before the international break - the same side that were beaten 6-0 by Bayern earlier this season.

Both Teams to Score @ 1.53

Dortmund are not the kind of team to go down without a fight, which Bayern will know full well from recent head-to-head meetings. It finished 2-2 when these sides last met at the Allianz Arena, as Waldemar Anton rescued a point for the visitors in the 75th minute. Gregor Kobel was the standout performer in that match, racking up a total of nine saves to frustrate the home crowd. Dortmund still managed to carve out 11 shooting opportunities, which amounted to 1.65 xG.

The points were again shared in the reverse fixture, as Bayern were restricted to just one goal from their 14 shots, which amounted to 1.55 xG. In return, Dortmund accrued just seven shots worth 0.6 xG. Those results mean BTTS has landed in ten of the last 12 head-to-head encounters between these rivals.

Harry Kane to Score or Assist @ 1.36

Harry Kane was taken off against Frankfurt, which raised some injury doubts. He was then an unused substitute for England’s friendly against Wales, which suggested a potential issue for the striker. However, Kane shut down those questions about an injury setback by captaining England against Latvia in a 5-0 win on Tuesday night. The 32-year-old bagged himself a brace in Riga, looking back at his best.

The England international has been in standout form this season, and already has 18 goals and three assists to his name after just ten domestic matches in all competitions. In fact, the former Spurs man has scored in nine out of ten games for Bayern - providing two assists in the only game in which he didn’t get on the scoresheet. Kane has already bagged himself two hat-tricks, along with five braces, which are just unbelievable numbers.

Jonathan Tah Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.44

Jonathan Tah is another player who has made a real impact since arriving in Bavaria over the summer, as the centre back has made ten appearances for Bayern Munich this term. In that time, he has committed a foul in nine of those matches, only failing in a 4-0 home win against Werder Bremen.

In total, he is averaging 1.7 fouls per 90, and his matchup against Serhou Guirassy this weekend puts him in a great position to maintain that excellent foul record. Guirassy can be a difficult opponent to contain, and the 29-year-old has drawn 11 fouls from his eight starts this campaign.

Even last season, Guirassy was fouled 53 times in the Bundesliga, ranking him tenth out of all players in the German top flight for total fouls drawn. Tah is a player who likes to be aggressive in his duels, and will be looking forward to this physical battle against Guirassy.

📈 Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund Form & Tactics

After finishing last season on an eight-game unbeaten run, Dortmund have been able to maintain their form under Niko Kovac, with an unbeaten start to the new campaign. Although it was a disappointing opening gameweek in the Bundesliga for Dortmund, who squandered a two-goal lead late on against St. Pauli, the Black and Yellow followed that up with four successive Bundesliga victories to nil.

In between those games, they drew against Juventus in a chaotic eight-goal thriller, which would have left Niko Kovac scratching his head over just how his side managed to give up a two-goal lead again in the final few minutes. Dortmund may remain unbeaten in all competitions this season, but they have shown a tendency to capitulate late on.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have been nothing short of dominant. The Bavarians boast ten wins from ten in all competitions, keeping four clean sheets along the way. More impressively, they’ve scored at least three goals in every fixture so far, showcasing their elite scoring ability, even against tougher opponents like Chelsea and RB Leipzig.


📔 Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund Formation & Team News

Luis Diaz will have a short turnaround for this game, given that he captained Colombia on Wednesday morning, but that made no impact on him after the September international break. After featuring for his national side, Diaz started against Hamburg, where he racked up four shots with three on target, even managing to get on the scoresheet. The 28-year-old will hope to make an impact on his debut in Der Klassiker.

Bayern Munich remain without Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies due to long-term injuries, so Thomas Tuchel is expected to name a similar lineup to the one that started against Frankfurt.

For Dortmund, Serhou Guirassy has shaken off any fitness concerns after missing out against Mainz with a groin issue - he led the line against RB Leipzig and should do so again here. The visitors appear to be at full strength heading into this clash.

Despite voicing frustration over limited minutes, Jobe Bellingham is likely to remain on the bench, with Marcel Sabitzer and Lucas Nmecha preferred in midfield. Niko Kovac is expected to keep faith with the same eleven from the Leipzig game, though Julian Ryerson could replace Yan Couto at right-back.
