As Bayer Leverkusen run away with the 2024 Bundesliga title, the reverse fixture of Der Klassiker has been relegated to a second-place bout as Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Both sides have their sights squarely set on the Champions League, with Bayern sitting second in the domestic table, 10 points back of Leverkusen, while Dortmund are a further 10 behind them in fourth.
That won't stop this meeting from carrying the same bite this rivalry possesses, however, as BVB will look for revenge from Bayern's 4-0 victory in November's matchup in Dortmund. With players on both sides coming off an international break, it'll be interesting to see which club has more individuals who need rest and who can take the field.
Dortmund, in fact, are looking to stop a lengthy Der Klassiker slide which has seen them fail to record a win since August of 2019 in the DFB-Super Cup, while they've failed to secure victory against Bayern in league play since the year prior, a streak of 10 Bundesliga games without a win and 11 across all competitions.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund prediction, odds
- Moneyline lean: Bayern Munich (-225)
- Score prediction: Bayern Munich 3-2 Borussia Dortmund
Neither side has Champions League fixtures to worry about next week, meaning they can deploy their full first-choice lineups without needing to manage minutes in any way.
Both sides are potentially missing talismanic strikers. Sebastien Haller is still sidelined for Dortmund due to an ankle injury, while Harry Kane missed the international break and could potentially return from his own ankle problem in this match but his availability to start remains unclear.
Still, regardless of Kane's fitness, Bayern are a machine especially at home, and Dortmund just look a beatable side in domestic football this season.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund best bet
- Pick: Over 4.0 total goals
- Odds: -110 (DraftKings)
Normally, this would be an outlandish bar to clear, but this fixture always delivers goals, and I mean always. The last NINE meetings between these two clubs have all seen at least four goals scored, totaling 43 goals for an insane average of 4.78 per game.
In fact, you have to go back eight years to find two consecutive Der Klassiker matches across all competitions that did not see four goals scored, when these two contested a pair of snoozers finishing 2-0 to Bayern and 1-0 to Dortmund early in the 2016/17 season.
Even on recent form alone, Bayern have scored 16 goals in their last three games, while Dortmund have gone five straight matches with at least two goals of their own. It should be another exciting watch, regardless of how lopsided the final score ends up.
Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund prop bet
- Pick: Jamal Musiala to score or assist a goal
- Odds: -110 (FanDuel)
Other than Harry Kane, who's not 100% fit from his ankle injury, nobody is in better form than Jamal Musiala. The young playmaker has been electric for Bayern Munich the past month, with at least one goal contribution in five consecutive league games, totaling five goals and four assists in that span.
Yet the way you really know Musiala is in scintillating form is from the most recent international break. The 21-year-old has struggled to translate his club growth to the national team level, but he bagged an assist in each of Germany's two friendlies last week, indicating he's ready to become a reliable creative outlet no matter which jersey he dons.
Whether or not Kane takes the field, Musiala figures to be heavily involved in a match with goals almost certain to flow.
