Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Preview – 04/10/15
Bundesliga preview – Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund prediction
Bayern Munich have Javi Martinez back in the heart of defence with Alaba returning to the left and Juan Bernat unlucky to again miss out after an impressive start. Mario Gotze could start against his former side if Arturo Vidal fails to recover from his knee injury. Arjen Robben will be fit enough for at least a place on the bench after recovering from injury.
Borussia Dortmund will start with Sokratis is defence but Subotic is there if required. Jonas Hofmann and Adnan Januzaj provide the flair from the bench to change it up with Ramos available to replace Aubameyang or change the system and play 2 up front should Thomas Tuchel feel his side need more threat.
Possible Line-ups
Bayern Munich: 4-3-3 formation: Neuer; Rafinha, Boateng, Martinez, Alaba; Thiago, Vidal, Alonso; Muller, Lewandowski, Costa
Dortmund: 4-1-4-1 formation: Burki; Ginter, Sokratis, Hummels, Schmelzer; Weigl; Reus, Gundogan, Kagawa, Mkhitaryan; Aubameyang

Prediction
Bayern have got off to a good start this season, scoring goals and rarely conceding. A 5-0 whitewash of Zagreb midweek came on the back of Bayern’s 3rd consecutive 3-0 away win with a 5-1 thrashing of Wolfsburg sandwiched in between. Bayern have won 2 of the last 3 against Dortmund and we expect the Champions to keep up their winning run.
Dortmund are struggling for form of late, 3 draw have halted their good start to the season and their midweek tie away to PAOK showed how tired many of their star performers looked. Bayern have had two days extra to recover and did not have to travel for their European tie which could have an impact on the result.
We are firmly behind Bayern in this one and expect goals between the Bundesliga heavyweights. With Lewandowski and Aubameyang in red hot form goals will be the order of the day.
