TEAM NEWS

Bayern Munich

Under Vincent Kompany’s leadership, Bayern are marching confidently toward another league title. They lead the standings with 65 points, boasting the league’s best attack (78 goals scored) and a rock-solid defense. Their home form has been near perfect: 12 wins from 14 games. Key players like Harry Kane, Leroy Sané, and Joshua Kimmich are expected to start. The only potential concern is over the fitness of Alphonso Davies, who has been nursing a slight knock.


Borussia Dortmund

Niko Kovač's side finds itself in 10th place—far from where they'd expected to be. Despite the inconsistency, their recent 4-1 win over Freiburg suggests they’re still capable of strong performances. Dortmund will look to Julian Brandt and Donyell Malen for inspiration in attack, while their shaky away form (8 losses) raises concerns. Mats Hummels returns from suspension and will be key in trying to contain Bayern's firepower.

Prediction: Bayern Munich to Win & Both Teams to Score

This edition of Der Klassiker is likely to follow a familiar script. Bayern Munich's dominance at home and their overall form throughout the season make them clear favorites heading into the match. However, Borussia Dortmund’s offensive capabilities shouldn’t be underestimated, particularly after their recent four-goal performance against Freiburg, which showcased their potential to strike against strong opposition.


Our main prediction is a home win for Bayern Munich, as they continue to set the pace at the top of the table. For added value, we also anticipate that both teams will find the net, given their attacking quality and recent scoring trends. Based on current form and performances, a 3-1 victory for Bayern seems a realistic outcome.
