Bayern MünchenNo absentees
Borussia DortmundNo absentees
Der Klassiker lands at the Allianz Arena on Saturday 31 October (5.30pm UK time) with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund locked together at the top of the Bundesliga, each unbeaten and level on 17 points after seven games.
Bayern Munich sit top on goal difference, and it is some difference: they have scored 25 goals in seven games and won all three home outings while racking up 18 goals and conceding just two at the Allianz. Borussia Dortmund, level on points in second, boast the division’s meanest defence, with five clean sheets and only four goals conceded all term.
Something has to give between two sides who have yet to taste defeat, and few fixtures in European football carry this kind of weight. Below are our best bets, the head-to-head record and a score prediction for the weekend’s showpiece.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone through the card for the weekend’s showpiece and landed on two selections at the Allianz Arena.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Michael Olise to score anytime | 7/5 (Paddy Power) | Michael Olise has been central to everything good about Bayern Munich’s blistering start. The winger is Bayern’s top Bundesliga scorer with six goals and three assists from 30 shots, and the hosts have hit 18 goals in three home games. Olise cuts inside off the right at will, with Harry Kane dragging defenders towards the middle, and he scored and assisted in the 3-1 win at Freiburg last time out. At 7/5 with Paddy Power, a player this involved in a team averaging six goals a game at home rates a fair bet. |
| Harry Kane to assist | 18/5 (Ladbrokes) | Harry Kane’s numbers this season show how much of Bayern Munich’s attack runs through him even when he is not scoring. He leads the squad with five Bundesliga assists, two more than Michael Olise, to go with four goals from 31 shots. Bayern have scored 25 goals in seven games and 18 in three at the Allianz Arena, so chances should come even against Dortmund’s tight defence. Dortmund have conceded just four goals all season, so Bayern may need a creator as much as a finisher. Ladbrokes go 18/5 on Kane setting one up, which looks too big. |

How Bayern Munich go into the game
Bayern Munich could hardly be in better shape. They have taken 17 points from a possible 21, winning five and drawing two to stay unbeaten, and a goal difference of plus 19 is comfortably the best in the Bundesliga.
Home form is the real weapon: three games at the Allianz Arena, three wins, 18 goals scored and only two conceded. Last time out they travelled to Freiburg and won 3-1, keeping their unbeaten record intact and underlining that the goals keep coming on the road as well as at home.
How Borussia Dortmund go into the game
Borussia Dortmund have quietly matched Bayern Munich stride for stride, also unbeaten and level on 17 points from seven games. The difference is in style: where Bayern overwhelm teams, Dortmund grind them down, and five clean sheets with just four goals conceded make them the division’s stingiest defence.
Their away form reads two wins and a draw from three trips, with four goals scored and two conceded, so they travel with real resilience. Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 at home last time out for a fifth win in seven, and while they have drawn two of their last five, shutting out this Bayern attack will be a sterner test than anything they have faced so far.
Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28/02/26 | Borussia Dortmund | 2-3 | Bayern Munich |
| 18/10/25 | Bayern Munich | 2-1 | Borussia Dortmund |
| 12/04/25 | Bayern Munich | 2-2 | Borussia Dortmund |
| 30/11/24 | Borussia Dortmund | 1-1 | Bayern Munich |
| 30/03/24 | Bayern Munich | 0-2 | Borussia Dortmund |
Drama is almost guaranteed when these two meet, but the recent balance is firmly with the hosts. Bayern Munich have lost just one of the last ten league meetings, with Dortmund’s solitary win in that run coming back in March 2024. The last meeting saw Bayern win 3-2 in Dortmund in February, and four of the last five Klassikers have seen both teams score.
