THE PREDICTION
This may not be the top-of-the-table clash that it has normally been in recent years, with Borussia Dortmund languishing in fifth place and realistically out of the title race, but it is nevertheless a huge game for both teams. Bayern Munich have largely had the upper hand over their rivals in recent years, particularly at the Allianz Arena where Dortmund have lost on their last six Bundesliga visits by an aggregate score of 26-3. The champions remain unbeaten in Munich this season in all competitions, winning five of their last six home games, but they have not recorded a clean sheet at home in the league since October. Seven of the last eight editions of ‘Der Klassiker’ in the Bundesliga have produced four or more goals, so a Bayern win combined with Over 3.5 Goals looks very appealing.
