The international break is almost over. Germany picked up a vital 1-0 win against Northern Ireland last night, thanks to Nick Woltemade’s first goal for his national team. England face Latvia tonight,
in Riga, knowing that three points will confirm their place at this summer’s World Cup. But as the dust settles on this international break, we can turn our attention to the big game that will take place on Saturday evening: Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund. The last two undefeated teams remaining in the Bundesliga. Very exciting.

Your Thoughts?
How are you feeling about Dortmund’s chances in Saturday’s Der Klassiker? My model is currently giving Bayern Munich a ~72% chance of victory, and BVB only 9% probability of winning at the Allianz. I think that is probably a little skewed in Bayern’s favour, but hard to argue wth it directionally!
