Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: Bayern will test Dortmund’s resolve

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: Prediction for the Match on October 18, 2025

Bayern come in with an astonishing streak (10 wins in 10 games across all competitions and have looked dominant both in attack and defence. Harry Kane continues to do damage, and the team’s depth is proving its mettle even when key defenders remain unavailable. Dortmund are also unbeaten this season, boasting solidity at the back and effective attacking options like Adeyemi, Guirassy, Beier. 

Still, history and home advantage favour Bayern. Dortmund will need precision, resilience, and early discipline to contain Bayern’s offensive threats. The match is likely to be intense, fast paced, with Dortmund trying to disrupt Bayern’s rhythm and force mistakes, while Bayern will try to press, control possession, and capitalize on any weak moments.

Borussia Dortmund: Forms and Statistics

Dortmund away from home are solid. They may not dominate every match, but they defend well, stay compact, and make the most of their attacking opportunities.
