Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Prediction and Betting Tips | October 8th 2022
In the first Der Klassiker of the season, Borussia Dortmund will entertain Bayern Munich at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.
The home team suffered a 3-2 defeat at Koln in their previous Bundesliga outing. They took the lead thanks to Julian Brandt's 31st-minute strike but Koln dug deep and scored three goals in the second half, which was enough to secure a win.
Dortmund did bounce back with a 4-1 away win over Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday and will be hoping to build on that win here.
Bayern Munich returned to winning ways in the Bundesliga after four games with an impressive 4-0 win at home over Bayer Leverkusen. They continued their fine form in the Champions League with a 5-0 win over Viktoria Plzen.
With both teams enjoying prolific outings in their previous games, the stage is set for an exciting encounter.
