VS
Bayern München vs Borussia Dortmund is Der Klassiker, a Bundesliga rivalry where Bayern’s stronger reference never removes the pressure of the occasion. The teams drew 1–1 in Dortmund in November 2024 and 2–2 in Munich in April 2025, before Bayern won both 2025–26 league meetings and the August 2026 Super Cup. The fixed results show an edge with resistance. A future Klassiker will test whether Dortmund can reset the balance.

Stats for this game
Matchup Bayern München VS Borussia Dortmund
A rivalry that can hold its balance
Two Bundesliga draws showed Borussia Dortmund’s capacity to stay level with Bayern München. Dortmund and Bayern finished 1–1 at Signal Iduna Park on 30 November 2024, with Bayern equalising late. At the Allianz Arena on 12 April 2025, the teams drew 2–2 after a four-goal second half. The settings changed, yet neither side secured the decisive margin.
Bayern carry the stronger reference
The following results tilted the evidence toward Bayern. They won 2–1 at home on 18 October 2025 and 3–2 in Dortmund on 28 February 2026, then beat Dortmund 2–1 in the Super Cup on 22 August 2026. That sequence establishes Bayern’s clearer edge while preserving the rivalry’s competitive tension: each win remained within a single goal. Dortmund’s route is to turn pressure and home energy into more than resistance; Bayern’s is to convert their stronger platform without allowing the contest to reopen. A future Klassiker will ask whether Bayern maintain that control or Dortmund transform another close game into a result.
