Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund team news

The Bavarians are unlikely to have Vincent Kompany on their bench as the manager recovers from an illness, and that’s just the start of their ailments. Luis Diaz is out for a few weeks, as is Jamal Musiala. Min-jae Kim could possibly return, but Manuel Neuer and Aleksandar Pavlovic are deep long shots and Bara Ndiaye is out.

Dortmund are without five players for the game. Kaua Prates and Justin Lerma are the closest to returning, while Konstantinos Karetsas, Giannis Konstantelias, and Emre Can are and/or have been longer-term absences.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund prediction

Bayern will be heavy favorites at home given the recent history between the sides. These matches always seem to feature multiple goals and there hasn’t been a clean sheet for either club over four Bundesliga matches (There have only been two 1-0s since the last 0-0 in 2016). Might Dortmund use a day’s rest to their advantage? Bayern Munich 1-1 Borussia Dortmund.
