Bayern Munich – Tenth successive Meisterschale imminent?
There isn’t much this great club hasn’t achieved. On Saturday, however, they have an unmissable opportunity to clinch yet another league title – their 32nd in all and tenth in a row – by beating rivals Borussia Dortmund inside a packed out Allianz Arena. And there is little about their recent form to suggest this doesn’t happen. Bayern winning their past four Bundesliga outings by an aggregate of 12-1.
The latest of those, a 3-0 rout of Arminia Bielefeld, would also stretch their unbeaten league run, winning six of eight matches since succumbing 4-2 away to an inspired Bochum in February. Here in Munich, meanwhile, Julian Nagelsmann’s charges have taken 13 of the last 15 points and boast the best home record (W12 D1 L2) in the German top-flight, though losses to Frankfurt and Gladbach show they aren’t infallible.
Key Stat: Although Bayern average almost three goals per home game in the Bundesliga this season, three of their previous six outings at the Allianz Arena saw them net only once – failing to win on two of those occasions (D1 L1).
Borussia Dortmund – Can BVB thrive in role as party poopers?
With a nine point deficit and only twelve points up for grabs, securing that elusive ninth German league championship sadly looks beyond a Dortmund side which has shone at times this season but lacked for consistency throughout. But they can avoid the ignominy of witnessing their rivals lift the trophy in their very presence, provided they can avoid an eighth consecutive Bundesliga away defeat in this fixture.
Those delaying tactics may prove successful. For Dortmund are unbeaten on the road in 2022, winning all but two of five such matches. At the very least they can contribute to what should be a lively affair. BVB are aiming to score in their 12th successive Bundesliga away game and recently flexed their muscles when putting six unanswered goals past a helpless Wolfsburg at Signal Iduna Park in last the round.
Key Stat: Across their previous five Bundesliga away matches, Borussia Dortmund conceded only twice (both in 1-1 draws, vs FC Augsburg and FC Koln) and never more than once, leading to Under 2.5 Goals in each of their last four away league games.

Although form is on their side, with one defeat in nine Bundesliga games, history certainly isn’t as Dortmund strive to avoid an eighth consecutive Bundesliga head-to-head loss that would see their rivals crowned champions on the day. Even more ominous for the travelling contingent is how Bayern prevailed in each of the past seven Der Klassikers as a hosts, the last six of those by margins of 2+ goals.
Bayern Munich Vs Borussia Dortmund – Key Facts:
- Dortmund haven’t recorded a win against Bayern Munich since a 2-0 scoreline in the 2019-2020 German Super Cup, losing seven subsequent meetings by an aggregate score of 21-9.
- BVB’s record in Munich is even worse. They have lost the last six such matches in the league, always by a margin of at least two goals and conceding at least four each time.
- Bayern boast the best home record in the German top tier this term (W12 D1 L2). However, Dortmund bring a seven-game unbeaten away run (W5 D2) in this fixture.
Having scored at least four in each of their last six home Bundesliga meetings with Dortmund, Bayern are capable of covering Over 3.5 Goals on their own. The fact the visitors are capable of contributing as well, scoring in 12 consecutive BL away games, only adds to the appeal of another goal-laden renewal in Munich. Moreover, the sides currently third, fourth, fifth and seventh all netted away to Bayern this season, meaning second-place BVB should have no problem breaking through as well.
