Borussia Dortmund will be looking to close the gap on Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich when the sides meet at Signal Iduna Park in Tuesday’s Klassiker.
Currently four points adrift of top spot, Lucien Favre’s men come into this clash on the back of six consecutive league victories.
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich latest odds
Having won their last two successive home matches against this opposition, they can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) with bet365 to ramp up the pressure by pulling off another big win.
However, Bayern's own winning streak stretches to eight fixtures across all competitions, and they are 17/20 (1.85) favourites with bet365 to come out on top for the sixth time in seven Bundesliga meetings with their rivals.
None on the last seven encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, but there are odds of 10/3 (4.33) available on this one finishing up all square.
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich team news
Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels is a doubt after being forced off in Saturday’s win at Wolfsburg, joining Marco Reus, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Nico Schulz in the treatment room.
Jerome Boateng should be fit for Bayern despite going off with a hip injury at the weekend, although Philippe Coutinho, Niklas Sule and Corentin Tolisso are all ruled out.
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich preview
With Hansi Flick’s team having taken 37 points from the last 39 available, Dortmund have done extremely well even to remain within touching distance.
Even so, they will know that defeat in Der Klassiker would almost certainly bring an end to their title bid for yet another season, having not lifted the trophy since 2012 under Jurgen Klopp.
While Erling Haaland’s form since arriving in January will boost Dortmund’s chances of finding some joy in attack, the fact they have conceded a league-best one goal in the last six matches suggests they have what it takes to hold strong at the other end as well.
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich predictions
With the stakes high, odds of 5/6 (1.83) seem generous on an in-form Dortmund team at least avoiding a damaging defeat at home to high-flying Bayern.
