We are in for a treat in the Bundesliga this weekend as Borussia Dortmund host Bayern Munich on Sunday in the second Der Klassiker of the season.
Dortmund are in second place with 52 points, eight behind their opponents and league leaders Bayern. The hosts are out to extend their impressive 16-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga.
This is the first match since Dortmund were dumped out of the Champions League, losing 4-3 on aggregate to Atalanta. This was their second match without victory after being held 2-2 by RB Leipzig in their last Bundesliga match.
How to place a live bet step by step
Bayern on the other hand come into the game on a four-match winning streak, most recently beating Frankfurt 3-2 last time out.
Can Dortmund get one over their eternal rivals and reduce the point gap between them and the Bundesliga leaders? We have a look at both teams and offer our predicted outcome.

Dortmund vs Bayern prediction
Historically, this fixture has always produced goals and the same can be expected here. Both teams boast the best and second defenses in the league, conceding 21 and 22 goals respectively.
With home advantage and Bayern’s recent inability to keep a clean sheet could give Dortmund a slight edge here. They are capable of at least getting a point here.
However, the best bet remains goals for both sides.
