Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Preview and Team News
Bayern Munich Team News
Bayern Munich have looked absolutely dominant this season and still boast a 100% record in the Bundesliga after six rounds.
Seeing Die Roten accrue a six-game winning run isn’t odd at the domestic level, but their efficiency on both ends of the pitch is something that isn’t regularly seen. Vincent Kompany’s men have dominated opponents with absolute ease so far in 2025-26.
The numbers don’t lie, and in this particular case, they paint a perfect picture of how good Bayern have been in the Bundesliga. They have the best attack in the league by a wide margin, with 25 goals – an average of 4.16 per match – and they’ve also conceded just three times, a mere 0.50 goals allowed per fixture. Moreover, they’ve achieved this without two key players in Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, who have missed time due to injuries.

Bayern Munich have the edge of playing at home in this matchup, and they’ve scored at least four goals in each of their three Bundesliga outings in front of their fans so far.
Dortmund will represent their toughest test to date by a sizable margin, but if they manage to ace it, the Bavarians won’t have any rivals in their race to win the Bundesliga for the 13th time in the last 14 seasons.
Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Borussia Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Boey, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Gnabry, Díaz; Kane.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund took a step back in their 1-1 draw against RB Leipzig before the international break. It was a game in which the Black and Yellow lost the xG battle by a slight margin (0.90 to 1.09) and didn’t look at their best in the final third. However, BVB battled hard and extended their undefeated start to the season to nine encounters across all competitions (W6, D3).
That impressive record, along with the newfound defensive prowess that has seen Dortmund concede one or fewer goals in six of their last seven matches, will be their calling card for this trip to Allianz Arena.
🎙️ Kovac:
“Bayern won’t underestimate us; they know how good we are. They often start like a house on fire at home, so we’ll have to hold our own against them. Then anything is possible. Even in Munich, they know we can play football.”#FCBBVB

Trying to go toe-to-toe against Bayern Munich’s impressive firepower might not be the best idea for Niko Kovač’s men, especially since they’ve conceded goals in their previous two fixtures against Leipzig and Athletic Club.
With decent results in recent meetings with Bayern Munich and the ability to hold their own against top-level opposition, BVB should have confidence in their chances here. Securing a positive result here would make a statement that should enhance Dortmund’s chances in the title race.
Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich (3-4-2-1): Kobel; Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Ryerson, Nmecha, Sabitzer, Svensson; Adeyemi, Beier; Guirassy.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Borussia Dortmund to cover +1.5 handicap
- Odds: -102 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Bayern Munich 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
Bayern Munich have looked downright unstoppable this season, but if any team can slow them down, it’s Dortmund. The Black and Yellow have conceded only four goals in the current Bundesliga campaign, but three of those came in the opener against St. Pauli. They seem to have the defensive ability to slow down the Bavarians’ potent attacking trio of Michael Olise, Harry Kane, and Luis Díaz.
It’s worth noting that Dortmund seem to have Bayern’s number in recent seasons.

Even though Die Roten have dominated the Bundesliga left and right in the past decade, BVB are riding a three-game undefeated run against them at the domestic level (W1, D2), which should boost their confidence ahead of this fixture.
It wouldn’t be shocking if that streak ended here, as Bayern Munich’s attack has been nearly impossible to stop this season. However, Dortmund should be able to keep things close even if they suffer a defeat. Expect the visitors to cover the +1.5 handicap here, something they’ve achieved in their previous two trips to Allianz Arena, as well as in every single match they’ve played in 2025-26.
Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 3.5 total goals
- Odds: +102 (Tonybet)
Bayern Munich’s most recent Bundesliga match before the October international break ended with under 3.5 total goals, and the same thing happened with Dortmund.
The Bavarians defeated Frankfurt 3-0, while BVB drew 1-1 against RB Leipzig. That trend of games producing under 3.5 goals has also occurred in two of their previous three head-to-heads and in three of Dortmund’s last four.
Bayern Munich’s impressive attack could easily change the pattern, but the Black and Yellow have looked excellent on defence in recent outings. Excluding the 4-4 draw against Juventus in the Champions League, they’ve conceded just two goals in their previous six competitive fixtures.
