Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: A potential goal fest to be played out

On Saturday, March 30, the Bundesliga's Der Klassiker between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund takes place at the Allianz Arena at 20:30 (GMT+3). With eight games left, two of the four Champions League positions are occupied by Bayern München, which is in second place with 60 points, 10 points behind first-placed Bayer Leverkusen, and Borussia Dortmund, which is in fourth place with 50 points. Dortmund is one point ahead of RB Leipzig, who are in fifth position and the first team outside of the tournament slots.

The teams met in November at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK for their most recent Bundesliga encounter, which Bayern München won 4-0. Bayern was led by goals in the ninth, 72nd, and 93rd minutes by Harry Kane. Dayot Upamecano was also spot on. With a winning record of nine draws, one loss, and zero losses in their past ten Bundesliga games, Bayern München has just prevailed against Dortmund. In their meetings with the team since November 2018, Dortmund is aiming for their first league victory. In their current winning streak, Bayern has outscored Dortmund 33–11.

The attacking potential on display implies a game with many goals nut the home form of Bayern makes home win very likely. 

Although they were playing well before the international break, taking home 13 of the 15 available points, Bayern Munich is not expected to win the Bundesliga this season.

Though they have been losing a lot lately, Bayern Munich has also been successful at scoring from their own opportunities. According to an analysis of their last six games, Bayern Munich has scored in six of those contests while conceding in five of them. 

Bayern Munich have won all ten of their league encounters against Borussia Dortmund. Bayern have won the last four home league games.

Dortmund also established their rhythm before the international break, but their recent performance against Bayern is dismal.

Borussia Dortmund has scored a total of 12 goals in their last six meetings. In all seven instances, Borussia Dortmund also managed to register a point. Six goals have been scored by their opponents.

After playing Bayern Munich away from home in their previous nine league games, Borussia Dortmund has not won against them. The road run has been horrible. In their last eight away league games, Borussia Dortmund has not lost. On the road, they've been excellent.

Now that the season is almost halfway over, every game carries a lot of weight, and this one is no different. Bayern München comes into this matchup with a big advantage as their strong anticipated goals (xG) at home (a robust 2.48) is a testament to their attacking strength at the Allianz Arena. This highlights their might at home, where they average 2.62 points per game. Bayern is a balanced team in both offence and defence on their day. 

We expect a 3-1 or 3-2 win for the home side.
