Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich – Match Preview and Team News

Form

Borussia Dortmund: WWLWW

The Black and Yellow are not likely to challenge for the title this season, although their recent form has been good. A defeat to Mainz earlier this month is the only blip from their five most recent matches, having beaten RB Leipzig, Sturm Graz, Freiburg and Dinamo Zagreb. Notably, Dortmund are unbeaten at home this season.

Bayern Munich: WWWWW

Since Barcelona hammered them 4-1 in the Uefa Champions League, Bayern have been impervious, winning all of their following seven games. Wins over Benfica and PSG have re-energised their European campaign, while they have also recently beaten Augsburg, St. Pauli and Union Berlin.

Last Meeting

Bayern Munich 0-2 Borussia Dortmund, Bundesliga, 30 March 2024

Dortmund dealt a huge blow to Bayern’s title defence last season when they secured a rare away win over their Bundesliga rivals last March.

Harry Kane missed an early chance before Karim Adeyemi ran through on goal to open the scoring through a counter-attack. Kane had an even more glaring miss with a glancing header before halftime.

That would prove costly as Dortmund sealed victory late one through Julian Ryerson. Sebastien Haller found the Norwegian wing-back in acres of space in the box before unleashing a strike into the net.

Predicted Lineups

Borussia Dortmund XI: Kobel, Ryerson, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini, Groß, Nmecha, Beier, Sabitzer, Gittens, Guirassy.
