Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich Betting Preview – Bundesliga 19th August

There are some huge European club matches going off this weekend and over in Germany you have the renewed rivalry between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. Bayern go into the weekend top of the table, but they have dropped some points recently, despite remaining unbeaten. However, Dortmund have been a little bit sloppy as well and they go into the game trailing Bayern by six points. So BVB can’t afford to lose this one and find themselves with a nine point deficit to Bayern. Can they pull a special one out of the bag and land the points? They have already suffered a loss to Bayern this season, losing out 3-0 against them in the German Super Cup back in mid-August. A big test for Dortmund, but they are unbeaten at home this term.

Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich Betting Tips

A great game to enjoy on Saturday and there is some pressure on the home side to come out and put a win on the board in it as well. However, Dortmund have had their struggles against Bayern Munich recently as they have gone winless in their last seven games across all competitions (D3 L4) against them. So tough head to head stats there, but Dortmund are a truly brilliant home side though. They are unbeaten in their last 26 games at home in the Bundesliga with a W21 D5 record in that sequence. It was Bayern Munich who the last ones to take a win there in the league back in April 2015. Dortmund have actually outscored Bayern Munich in the league this season, by one, but that does speak volumes to their own attacking prowess. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a 13/10 quote to strike for them in this massive clash with their rivals.

Mario Gotze is 11/4 to score in the game and he could be facing Bayern for the first time since re-joining Dortmund from them over the summer. While Dortmund have matched Bayern Munich for scoring power, they have conceded twice as many goals as Bayern have done this season (12). However, for this one, in such a high profile game, it is probably worth looking under 2.5 goals for a price of even money at bookmaker Bet365. Each of the last three clashes between the two German giants have gone under the goal line, with two of those three being a 0-0 draw. A 0-0 Correct Score here will fetch you a price of 11/1 with Bet365. Dortmund are down in fifth going into the weekend and just haven’t been able to take advantage of some draws that Bayern have played out recently. Dortmund have only a W1 D3 L1 record in their last five league outings and really need the points.

But getting maximum points off Bayern is never easy. They have remained unbeaten across the league season so far and they are on a 19 match streak in the Bundesliga for scoring. The last time that anyone held them to a scoreless draw was Dortmund back in March earlier this season. One of their big stars, Thomas Muller is struggling for goals at the moment and he is on a it of a drought. It’s just over 680 minutes since he last scored a league goal. Still you would expect someone of his quality to come good sooner or later and he is a 7/4 option in the anytime goalscorer market with Robert Lewandowski the shortest priced option at 10/11. Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti has lost four of his nine previous games against Dortmund interestingly, but he was there to see Bayern lift the Super Cup in August against Dortmund. This will be Bayern’s fifth league away game of the season with a W3 D1 record out on the road so far. They have scored two goals in three of those four away games. So Bayern have shipped just the six league goals this term but have only one clean sheet in their last five league outings though. They are on a three match streak of clean sheets against Dortmund and they are a price of 11/4 to win to nil at Bet365.

Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich Predictions

These are usually great meetings and it is well worth dipping into for some betting action here. Tough game to call because Dortmund are such a strong home side but Bayern don’t lose too often of course. They are evenly matched going forward, but Bayern are just that bit tighter at the back but have struggled for clean sheets lately. So even-Stevens then and it may just be worth backing a draw under 2.5 goals.
