Bayern vs Borussia Dortmund

Bayern vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Der Klassiker, also known as the German Classico, is the name given for the classic match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Despite the great rivalry between these two teams, this is definitely not the best time for this game since the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals take place next week. Bayern faces the defending champion – Real Madrid – while Borussia hosts the surprising Monaco.
With a 10 point lead to 2nd place, everything seems to be decided for Bayern Munich in Bundesliga. Not even the recent defeat against Hoffenheim should disturb the team’s confidence with Bayern scoring an impressive average of 2.48 goals per game this season.

Bayern vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Analysis

On the other hand, Dortmund failed to meet expectations with a disappointing campaign in Bundesliga. With the team currently in 4th place, their main goal now is to guarantee direct entry to the UEFA Champions League next season.

Both sides should spare some players for this clash in order to present their best line-up next week in the UCL. Therefore, we expect an open game since neither of the teams has very strong defenders in their bench.

The Over 2.75 @1.83 with Pinnacle is a very interesting line, as well as the Both Teams to Score @1.70 at Bet365. Besides the value on the Over 2.75 and Both Teams to Score, the combined bet – Over 2.5 & Both Teams to Score – is also a great selection @2.00 at Coral.

Looking now at the winners market, Bayern Munich’s price is not appealing due to the circumstances. Although their outstanding record at home and the fact that Dortmund plays earlier in the UCL, we can’t find any value on Bayern’s odds. In contrast, Dortmund’s +1.00 Asian Handicap @1.90 is much more interesting but once again, the best approach is to avoid this market.

The anytime goalscorers market is always an interesting one between these two teams, but this time we’ll turn our attention to the bench players. Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller, and Douglas Costa didn’t play against Hoffenheim due to injury and although they’re already close to 100%, it’s unlikely to see them playing this Saturday.

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s mind already in the game against Monaco, Shinji Kagawa is the player to back to score a goal on this game @4.75 at Bet365. On the home’s side, Franck Ribéry might be decisive with Bet365 offering @3.20 for the Frenchman to score at least one goal this Saturday.
