Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Preview

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich

Competition – German Bundesliga

Stadium: Signal Iduna Park

Date: 28th February 2026

Kick-off time – 17:30 GMT

The Der Klassiker arrives at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday evening for a 17:30 GMT kick-off, with Borussia Dortmund hosting Bayern Munich in one of world football’s most iconic rivalries. Dortmund head into the match in difficult form, their most recent outing a heavy 1-4 away defeat to Atalanta in the Champions League on 25th February. Prior to that, they drew 2-2 away at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on 21st February. Earlier in the sequence, they won 2-0 at home to Atalanta in the Champions League, 4-0 at home to Mainz and 2-1 away at VfL Wolfsburg.

Bayern Munich arrive in formidable shape, having won four of their last five matches. Their most recent outing produced a 3-2 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt on 21st February, and they also won 3-0 away at Werder Bremen on 14th February, 2-0 at home to RB Leipzig in the German Cup and 5-1 at home to TSG Hoffenheim. Their only dropped points in this run came from a 2-2 away draw at Hamburg SV on 31st January. The contrast in season-wide stats is stark: Bayern have scored 85 goals and boast a goal difference of +64, compared to Dortmund’s 49 goals and +27.

The head-to-head record over the last five meetings is surprisingly even, with Bayern claiming two wins, Dortmund one, and two draws shared between them. Most recently, Bayern won 2-1 at home on 18th October 2025. Dortmund’s most notable recent result in this fixture was a 2-0 away win at Bayern in March 2024. With Bayern in dominant form and Dortmund reeling from a Champions League hammering, the visitors will be confident of adding to their Bundesliga lead.
