Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips: Preview and predictions for Bundesliga showdown

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund lock horns in an epic Saturday evening showdown which could prove decisive in this season's Bundesliga title picture.

In a turn that surprised many, Munich parted company with head coach Julian Nagelsmann and immediately instated his replacement Thomas Tuchel in a bid to salvage their 2022/23 campaign.

Despite only a point separating them from Dortmund in 1st and a UCL quarter-final with Manchester City on the horizon, change seemed inevitable at the Allianz Arena. How quickly the former Chelsea boss can implement his ideas remains unanswered, but there's no better way to prove your worth than by dethroning BVB in your first outing.

On the yellow side of things, a damning Champions League last-16 exit means all hopes now rest on the two remaining pieces of silverware on offer: the Bundesliga title and DFB-Pokal cup.

Although Dortmund are coming to Bayern's backyard, there's enormous appeal in the 5/1 available with multiple betting sites for the Yellow Army to return home with all the spoils.

Hedging our bets against the unknown entity of Tuchel's Bayern team seems smart. This can be best attacked through backing Dortmund-Draw in the Double Chance market.

There is a sense that this could be BVB's year, especially when Bayern have dropped points in 10 of their 25 matches. Having accrued two more Bundesliga victories than Saturday's opponents, taken a point in the side's previous meeting and remaining undefeated in the last 11 league games, Dortmund should make the trip brimming with confidence.

Parallels between circumstances here and those presented to him at the beginning of his Chelsea tenure suggest his Bayern team won't necessarily hit the ground running. The German coach was held to a goalless draw by Wolves in his first taste of action at Stamford Bridge, and the visiting side this time around prove a more potent threat than the Midlanders did then.

Going one step further sees us tipping Dortmund to win and both teams to get themselves on the scoresheet.

Bayern have been put to the sword by three different Bundesliga sides during the current campaign, and the shift from their usual domestic dominance hints perhaps towards a necessary rebuild.

BVB have won 12 of their last 15 fixtures across all competitions, and will sense an opportunity to get one hand on the Bundesliga title at Bayern's expense.

Each of their last seven head-to-heads have seen BTTS land in thoroughly entertaining and competitive affairs. Over 3.5 goals has also been successful in the seven most recent meetings, meaning there's plenty of action when these two share a pitch.
