Borussia Dortmund Recent Form
| Date | Competition | Match | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-15 | Club Friendly | Borussia Dortmund vs AS Roma | 2-2 |
| 2026-08-09 | Emirates Cup | Arsenal vs Borussia Dortmund | 7-7 |
| 2026-08-01 | Club Friendly | FC Tokyo vs Borussia Dortmund | 0-1 |
| 2026-07-29 | Club Friendly | Cerezo Osaka vs Borussia Dortmund | 1-0 |
| 2026-07-25 | Club Friendly | Fortuna Düsseldorf vs Borussia Dortmund | 2-1 |
Dortmund’s pre-season has been notable for the wrong reasons: a 7-7 against Arsenal in the Emirates Cup is difficult to interpret, but the pattern of conceding in bulk raises immediate questions. The 2-2 with Roma and losses to Osaka and Düsseldorf suggest inconsistency. Serhou Guirassy is the focal point up front. Jobe Bellingham and Karetsas provide creativity in midfield. Kobel in goal is dependable. The question is whether a young and developing spine can hold Bayern to a competitive scoreline.
FC Bayern München Recent Form
| Date | Competition | Match | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-18 | Club Friendly | 1. FC Heidenheim vs FC Bayern München | 2-4 |
| 2026-08-15 | Telekom Cup | FC Bayern München vs RB Leipzig | 3-1 |
| 2026-08-07 | Club Friendly | Aston Villa vs FC Bayern München | 1-2 |
| 2026-08-04 | Club Friendly | Jeju SK vs FC Bayern München | 1-2 |
| 2026-07-30 | Club Friendly | FC Rottach-Egern vs FC Bayern München | 0-15 |
Bayern’s pre-season trajectory is upward: the 3-1 Telekom Cup win over Leipzig is the most relevant data point, showing intensity against proper opposition. The 15-0 against a regional side is irrelevant, but the wins over Aston Villa and Heidenheim show consistent output. Kimmich and Pavlovic control the midfield; Olise, Musiala, and Diaz provide width and directness. Harry Kane starts as the lone striker, which against a Dortmund side that has been leaking goals is a positive signal.
Borussia Dortmund vs FC Bayern München Head-to-Head
| Date | Competition | Match | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-02-28 | Bundesliga | Borussia Dortmund vs FC Bayern München | 2-3 |
| 2025-10-18 | Bundesliga | FC Bayern München vs Borussia Dortmund | 2-1 |
| 2025-04-12 | Bundesliga | FC Bayern München vs FC Bayern München | 2-2 |
Bayern have won or drawn all three recent Bundesliga encounters. The 2-3 in Dortmund in February 2026 is the most recent competitive meeting at Signal Iduna Park; Bayern came from behind to take all three points. Dortmund did score twice in that match, suggesting they can produce offensively even when losing.
Borussia Dortmund vs FC Bayern München Predicted Lineups
Lineups are confirmed from the event feed.
Borussia Dortmund Predicted Lineup
Gregor Kobel (GK), Joane Gadou (DF), Waldemar Anton (DF), Ramy Bensebaini (DF), Julian Ryerson (MF), Felix Nmecha (MF), Jobe Bellingham (MF), Daniel Svensson (MF), Konstantinos Karetsas (MF), Samuele Inacio (MF), Serhou Guirassy (FW).

Key Factors to Consider
- Bayern have won or drawn every Bundesliga meeting with Dortmund in the last 18 months, including a 2-3 comeback win at Signal Iduna Park.
- Dortmund’s pre-season defensive output has been alarming, conceding seven in a single match and failing to keep a clean sheet in four of five friendlies.
- Bayern’s front six of Olise, Musiala, Diaz, Pavlovic, Kimmich, and Kane represents the deepest attacking unit in German football.
- Guirassy gives Dortmund a genuine threat against Bayern’s young centre-back partnership of Tah and Upamecano.
- The Super Cup’s single-leg format at Dortmund’s home stadium slightly reduces the historical advantage that Bayern carry in season-long competitions.
Free Tips to Watch
- Bayern to win is the strongest individual recommendation given the squad depth and recent H2H record.
- Over 2.5 goals has strong support: three of the last three H2H meetings have produced at least three goals.
- Guirassy to score anytime offers value; he scored in the 2-3 defeat in February and is Dortmund’s main attacking reference.
- Avoid backing Dortmund outright unless pricing offers strong value; the individual quality gap is too consistent to ignore.
- Halftime/full-time: Bayern win/Bayern win is a conservative but well-supported option given their recent domination of this fixture.

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Bayern München Football Prediction 2026
Borussia Dortmund vs FC Bayern München Odds should position Bayern as clear favourites, and the confirmed lineups justify that pricing. Neuer, Tah, Upamecano, Kimmich, and Kane in the same starting eleven represents a level of collective quality that Dortmund have repeatedly struggled to contain in recent seasons. Dortmund’s midfield is young: Bellingham, Karetsas, and Inacio have potential but limited competitive experience at the highest level. The 2-3 in February showed Bayern can come back even when Dortmund score first, which suggests resilience under pressure. The one counter-argument is the home environment; Signal Iduna Park in a Super Cup Final with yellow wall atmosphere can upset opposition shape in the first 20 minutes. A competitive first half followed by Bayern pulling clear in the second half is the most consistent reading of this fixture.
