Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich Betting Tips

Marco Reus returned to the Borussia team after a six-month absence, but he will not be risked tomorrow as he returns from injury.

Dortmund haven’t won the league since 2012 – when Jurgen Klopp helped the club win back-to-back Bundesliga titles – but Tuchel will not only have to contend with a Bayern side that has yet to hit top form, but also the surprise pace setters, Leipzig. Ousmane Dembele appears to be the first-choice winger now, with Christian Pulisic and Mario Gotze also receiving playing time in a similar role.

Missing players: Neven Subotic, Erik Durm, Sven Bender.

The game began explosively as Mario Gotze and Aubameyang combined to score in the opening 10 minutes as the Gabonese striker slid the ball past Manuel Neuer at close-range.

Here’s the best of the post-match reaction to a momentous result at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK…

I always feel Der Klassiker is a really tough call when it comes to this market.

Dutchman Arjen Robben also looks to have overcome a minor thigh muscle injury picked up on worldwide duty but coach Carlo Ancelotti’s biggest concern is over Chilean Arturo Vidal who played twice for his country despite an injury. This time, too, we go for a Bayern win with a small margin.

The visitors ran out 2-0 winners on the day thanks to second half goals from Arturo Vidal and Thomas Muller, with the hosts simply unable to find the all-important finishing touch in front of goal.

Brazilian Douglas Costa and Chile’s Arturo Vidal returned with minor injuries from global matches, Ancelotti said.

Despite this being the most intense rivalry in German soccer as of late, the advantage has gone decisively to the Bayern side, including the 2013 Champions League final. Both have also 21 points. “But when you get into the ring with Bayern, you should not expect to step out again without black eyes”.

Ousmane Dembele came in as a substitute and impressed the manager by scoring the fifth goal against Hamburger. A different Müller (Hamburg’s Nicolai) bagged a brace against Dortmund last time out.

The momentum was now with Carlo Ancelotti’s men and Bayern piled on the pressure, Thiago Alcantara just failing to properly connect with a flying scissor kick five minutes before half-time.
