Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips
It’s a big Cup Final weekend all across Europe and there is a massive showdown over in Germany for the DFB Pokal final. Bayern Munich take on last year’s runner up Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, with Bayern being the most successful side ever in the history of the competition, having won it seventeen times before. No-one else has even come close and the Bavarians have won six of the last eleven editions. Bayern Munich are unbeaten in their last five games against Borussia Dortmund and naturally go as favourites. The two sides played out a 0-0 draw in their most recent meeting which was at Dortmund in the Bundesliga. However, Bayern posted a massive 5-1 win over their rivals when they met earlier in the season at the Allianz Arena. The last time they were together in the German Cup Final was in the 2013/14 season, Bayern winning the game 2-0 after extra time.
There has been a little trend of under 2.5 goals running between these two, three of the last four meetings having gone under the market. You can take a price of even money on the game being under the goal line at 90 minutes on Saturday. The last time that they were paired together in the German Cup was in the semi finals last season, with a tight scrap between them, which saw Borussia Dortmund prevail on a penalty shoot out. Dortmund went on to lose the final though against Wolfsburg. There is a lot of firepower on show from both sides on Saturday but it is still tempting to go under 2.5 goals. Bayern Munich are in great form having won ten of their last thirteen games played in all competitions (D2 L1). There has been a lack of clean sheets from them though, not having posted any in their last four. You could maybe tie that in with them cruising towards the end of the season with the Bundesliga title in the bag. Robert Lewandowski is in great scoring form with four goals in his last three games and he can be backed at 11/10 in the anytime goalscorer market. OVverall he netted 30 goals in 29 Bundesliga games and netted three German Cup goals too. Thomas Muller has four German Cup goals this term and is 6/4 to score in the final.
Borussia Dortmund still look one of the best sides on the continent, it has to be said. They stuck with their best they could with Bayern in the Bundesliga title race, but missed their big chance in playing out that 0-0 draw with Bayern at the Westfalenstadion where a win would have gotten them really in the picture. Dortmund have won four of their last six matches across all competitions since losing the Europa League quarter final tie against Liverpool. Not only that they have scored sixteen goals in their last six games and the prolific Pierre Aubameyang is trading at 6/4 in the anytime goalscorer market for the final. Dortmund are a good defensive side as well as being able to boast that scoring power. They can’t match the overall defensive record of Bayern though but it is still good enough to see them stay in this Final. Dortmund’s last success in the German Cup was in 1989 when they beat Werder Bremen 4-1 in the final. It is going to be a big ask for them as underdogs, but they’ll give their opponents a tough game.
Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund Betting Odds
Bayern even money, Draw 13/5, Dortmund 5/2
Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund Predictions
With all of the positive qualities that Borussia Dortmund have, if this were against almost any other club on the continent, barring the few powerhouse clubs, then you would be backing them to take the silverware. They have not gotten the better of Bayern over their last five matches and with Pep Guardiola wanting to bow out with a piece of silverware in the bag before heading to Man City, the class of Bayern should win out in a tight game.
