The dreaded international break is behind us (there’s two more in the next two months) and Bayern Munich is finally back in action. They welcome a surprisingly stout Borussia Dortmund side that sit in second
place, and without a single loss domestically.
Recent years have proved that this match is anything but easy, even with the lopsided head-to-head record in Bayern’s favor. It is also rare to see both Bayern and Dortmund as the two top teams (statistically speaking) in the league at the time of this match. In fact, the last time that both teams occupied the top two spots heading into the Klassiker was three weeks before Christmas 2021, and that finished in a 3-2 away win for the Bavarians.
In this match, however, Bayern’s sheer quality will overcome anything that Die Scwarzgelben can throw at the hosts.
Prediction: Bayern wins 4-1
It’s Bayern time.
