Prediction: 2-2
Borussia Dortmund
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. Edin Terzic’s men are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but seeing that Bayern Munich are tough to beat at home, the share of spoils is on the cards. Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer misses out through suspension, while all Ramy Bensebaini, Gregor Kobel, Samuel Bamba, and Sebastien Haller remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Thomas Muller):
Thomas Muller is pacey attacker who plays for Bayern Munich and German national team. Muller is a product of Bayern Munich’s youth academy and he played 35 games for the reserve team, scoring 16 goals in the process.
The German striker, who is capable of producing fine performances as a winger as well, won the Champions League trophy with Bayern Munich in 2013 as the mighty Bavarians defeated fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in the final of the elite competition. Muller clinched the FIFA World Cup trophy with Germany in 2014, while making it to the European Championship final in 2012. It has to be noted that he won the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot in 2010.

Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
