Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund tips and predictions: No Kane, no problem in Der Klassiker
Bayern Munich will take on Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday night at Allianz Arena (1730 GMT).
Bayern Munich are Germany's most successful football club. They are based in Munich, Bavaria, and play their home matches at the 75,000 capacity Allianz Arena. Bayern won the treble (DFB-Pokal, Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League) in 2012/13 and 2019/20.
Bayern are coached by Thomas Tuchel who replaced Julian Nagelsmann in March 2023.
Nagelsmann led Bayern to the Bundesliga title at the first time of asking, topping the table with 77 points ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the 2021/22 season. It was Bayern's tenth consecutive Bundesliga.
Under Tuchel, Bayern won their 33rd national title in 2023, but 30 of those have come since 1968/69, a season which ended a 37-year title drought.
Carlo Ancelotti won the Bundesliga in the 2016/17 season, but went out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stages. He was sacked in the September of the new season after reportedly losing the dressing room and Heynckes returned to steer the club to the title again.
Apart from the local rivalry with 1860 Munich, Bayern have no shortage of foes, largely because of how competitive they are on several fronts.
Bayern Munich are the third highest earning football club in the world, having reportedly raked in €611million in 2022. This figure also makes them the largest sports club in the whole of Germany.
