Bayern Munich, on the other hand, played 6 preparation matches. Furthermore, from those 6, they won 4, drew 1, and lost 1. However, they’ve faced notably stronger teams than their rivals for today. In the most recent affair with Fenerbahce, we saw all of their might. After the 90 minutes, they triumphed by the score of 6-1. Their conversion rate was top-notch. Moreover, they fired 11 shots, 9 of which were on target, with 6 crossing the goal line. Therefore, I’m certain they’ll contribute to the total goal count in this Saturday affair.

who is the Favourite team to win between Dortmund v Bayern Munich?
The away team – Bayern Munich are currently in a better form than the home team, Bayern Munich.
Dortmund
Marco Rose’s team head into this potentially massive clash with perennial rivals Bayern Munich on the back of a superb run of form in the Bundesliga. BVB have now claimed ten wins in their 13 matches in the German top-flight this season.
Bayern Munich
The reigning champions and league leaders will be heading into this clash with slight trepidation, as Julian Nagelsmann’s team have not been in their usual formidable form in the Bundesliga of late. Last time out they scraped past Arminia Bielefeld 1-0, with a 71 st minute Leroy Sane strike eventually breaking the visitor’s resistance.
Conclusion
This is sure to be a cracking encounter. Bayern have won the last six meetings with Dortmund and seem to have a hoodoo over BVB. However, we believe that the hoodoo will end, but Dortmund will once against be frustrated with the game finishing in a draw.
Dortmund Facing Lineup Dilemma
While Kimmich and Pavard might be out for Bayern, Dortmund has dealt with various injuries issues for most of Marco Rose’s tenure. Rose came over from Gladbach in the offseason but has rarely had his best XI available and he won’t again on Saturday.
Minor Wobble for Bayern Munich
Bayern has had a bit of a wobble in recent weeks with Kimmich out for COVID-19 reasons. The performances against Augsburg and Dynamo Kiev following the last international break were not of their standard, losing 2-1 to Augsburg and sneaking a win against Kiev in the Champions League, albeit with little at stake.
Betting Analysis & Pick
The table and recent form suggests that the gap between Bayern and Dortmund is actually not quite that large. Both suggest that the recent wobble from Bayern and league wins from Dortmund mean the hosts should be able to give Bayern a good game here, especially with Haaland returning to the lineup and bolstering the attack.
