The first Der Klassiker of the season promises fireworks as Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena on Saturday night. Vincent Kompany’s men have made a flying start to the Bundesliga campaign, winning all ten of their matches across competitions. The Bavarians enter the clash with their confidence sky-high.
Meanwhile, Dortmund have also started solidly under Niko Kovac and will look to extend their recent unbeaten run against the reigning champions. They are unbeaten in the last three Der Klassiker meetings, including a stunning 2–0 win at the Allianz Arena in March 2024. Their defensive structure has improved significantly, with only four goals conceded and four clean sheets. But a rampant Bayern side will be the real test for Dortmund defense.

Both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund enter this Klassiker in prolific form, making the over 3.5 goals line an attractive pick. Bayern have scored 16 goals in their last four matches. Dortmund, meanwhile, have also been productive in attack, netting 11 goals across their last four fixtures. With both teams boasting attacking depth and momentum, another high-scoring encounter looks very likely here.

Pick: Over 28.5 Shots at -125
Pick: Over 10.5 Shots on Target at -115
Both Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich consistently generate high shot volumes, making this pick attractive for Der Klassiker. Bayern’s Champions League outing (5–1 against Pafos) produced 32 total shots on its own (26 Bayern, 6 Pafos). Dortmund, meanwhile, come in hot from a 1-1 draw against Dortmund where they fired 15 shots and had 7 corners.
With Kompany’s Bayern pushing territory at home and Dortmund pressing and breaking aggressively, this will be a high-attempt game on both ends, enough to clear 28.5 shots. With two high-tempo attacks and Dortmund unlikely to sit deep, this fixture sets up for an open contest that should also see 11+ shots on target land.
Pick: Total Corners Over 9.5 at -125
Bayern push high with their wingers and full-backs, often forcing opposition defences into clearances that generate corners. Against a Dortmund side that can concede lots of spaces during transitions, Bayern should have the opportunities to rack up corners. Dortmund themselves had 7 corners in their last game. At -125, total corners over 9.5 offers excellent value in what is expected to be a fast-paced game.
