Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2024-25

The Bavarian giants will take on the Yellow Army on matchday 29 in the Bundesliga.

Die Roten will lock horns against Die Borussen as both teams will be aiming to get three points from this fixture. The fixture between these two German giants is called Der Klassiker, as both teams will be eager to beat each other. The last time both teams faced each other, the match ended in a 1-1 draw, but this time, things can be a bit different.

Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich are going through a big injury crisis as many key players are out of action due to injuries. In their last game, they suffered a defeat against Inter Milan despite being the better side. The home team will look to bounce back from that defeat to face their arch-rival as Bayern are yet to win the league. The home side will have to be at their best to get all three points on Saturday.

This season has been full of ups and downs for Borussia Dortmund as they have performed quite well in the Champions League, but that is not the case in the Bundesliga. After the arrival of Nico Kovac, things are much better for them, but still, they are way below where they should be in the league. They will be disappointed with their performance till now and will have to get points in the rest of the league games.

In 28 matches, they have won 12 games, drawn five and lost 11 matches. With 41 points on the table, they are sitting at the eighth spot and are still far away from getting a European slot for next season. Despite all the challenges, they are a good side who will create a lot of trouble for the home team, for sure. This will be a mouthwatering fixture.

Kick-Off:

• Location: Munich, Germany
• Stadium: Allianz Arena
• Date: Saturday, 12 April
• Kick-Off Time: 10:00 PM IST
• Referee: TBD
• VAR: In Use

Players to Watch

Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)

Olise is incredibly versatile and can operate on either wing, as well as just behind the striker. He has impressed both fans and pundits with his exceptional skills and performance on the field. He is known for his technical prowess, tactical intelligence and overall impact on the team’s performance.

His ability to control and manipulate the ball with precision and finesse using his right foot sets him apart from other players. He has always displayed a level of maturity and composure in the final third, which always helps his team to attack better. Whatever he does on the field, he does it with precision and doesn’t make many mistakes. He will be a big help to the away side in the upcoming fixture.

Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund)

Adeyemi is a forward player who is direct and aggressive in possession of the ball. In the final third, he is dynamic and quick over longer distances and in short passes. His ability to take defenders on 1v1 either wide or centrally creates havoc in the opposition’s defensive structures.

The German international can carry the ball at speed past defenders. He has the compsure and game intelligence to make the right choices when he drops into those spaces. Even though he has faced some criticism in the last few years due to his inconsistency, he is still a key player for Dortmund. In 27 games this season, he has scored nine goals and provided five assists.
