Dortmund vs Bayern Preview
- Competition: Bundesliga.
- Date: Saturday, November 30.
- Time: 5:30 PM GMT.
- Venue: Signal Iduna Park.
Dortmund vs Bayern will be the late kick-off on November 30 in the Bundesliga as the fifth-placed team prepares to host the runaway leaders in the competition so far in Der Klassiker.
The Black and Yellow will enter this contest on the back of a mixed run of form. They have won three of their last five games across competitions, but have tasted defeat in the other two matches. During this run, Dortmund have netted eight goals but also conceded five as they look for some solidity at the back. Having defeated nine-man Freiburg 4-0 in their last league match, the team will be brimming with confidence and will look to carry that into their next league game.
Bayern, on the other hand, will enter this derby on the back of a stunning run of form. They have won each of their last five matches across competitions and have been excellent in both the offence and defence departments. The Bavarians have kept clean sheets in each of these matches and have scored nine goals in the process. They secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League midweek and will look to continue their winning run.
On that note, let’s take a look at the team news coming out of both camps.

Key Players to Watch
Serhou Guirassy (Dortmund)
The Dortmund striker has been the club’s leading goal contributor in the Bundesliga so far this season. He has six goals and one assists to his name so far, and will look to add to his tally sooner rather than later. With Dortmund in fifth and looking to climb the table, the in-form Guirassy will have a weight of expectations on his shoulders to perform well.
Harry Kane (Bayern)
With an astounding 19 goal contributions already to his name this season, Harry Kane has put significant daylight between himself and others in the team. The Englishman has 12 goals and five assists to his name and leads the charts in both departments for Bayern. Having scored a hat-trick in his last match, he will be raring to go in a big game.
Dortmund vs Bayern Prediction
Given the form Bayern have been in of late, it is hard to look past them in a game against Dortmund. Despite it being an away match, the Bavarians should have enough firepower to outscore their hosts.
Prediction: Dortmund 1-3 Bayern
