FC Bayern München vs Borussia Dortmund prediction 2024-03-30
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Allianz Arena as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund square off against each other in der Klassiker on Saturday afternoon. The Bavarians aim to build on thrilling back-to-back wins over Mainz (8-1) and Darmstadt (5-2) and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented strategy against the Yellow-Blacks. Home win, though, should not be considered as top scorer Harry Kane has joined the likes of Raphael Guerreiro, Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sane, and Bouna Sarr in the recovery room. German midfielder of Serbian origin Aleksandar Pavlovic is yet another absentee in the home team.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, defeated Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 26 to stay in the Champions League berth.
