Prediction
After 23 games without a loss, Dortmund meet their main rival for the
championship at home. The team is full of confidence and a win would be a
huge step towards defending their title.
Bayern are in very strong form as well and only three points behind
Dortmund. A win would put them back at the top of the table, because of
their superior goal difference.
Expect Bayern to dominate possession and Dortmund to press and wait for their chances on the break.
Borussia Dortmund 1 - 1 Bayern Munich
