Match Odds: Bayern Munich 1.83, Draw 3.60, Borussia Dortmund 4.20 (William Hill)
October 12, 1991 - the last time Borussia Dortmund left Munich with a win in the Bundesliga. Since then both sides have won the Champions League and Bayern have switched stadiums but the rivalry between the sides endures and if anything has become fiercer.
If Juergen Klopp needs any extra motivation to break the 20-year curse he should consult the betting odds. Bookies have priced a Dortmund win at 4.20 which is frankly a slap in the face for the runaway league leaders.
For starters Dortmund have the best road record in the league winning 10 from 12 scoring more goals in the process. They also have the best defensive record in the league shipping just 13 goals in 23 games and are fresher having had a week's rest since their last match against St Pauli.
A price of 4.20 on an away win is crazy indeed. You can even back Dortmund at a tasty evens (2.0) to avoid defeat at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich, another side who have just won with a crazy price, are gathering a head of steam with the Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben duo committing 'Robbery' given half a chance. The champions were another mad price (3.20) to beat Inter in midweek and are 1.83 favourites for this one.
A massive 13 points separates the sides in the league and even a home win wouldn't change the dynamic of the Bundesliga massively. Dortmund will be highly motivated to nip any potential title charge from the Bavarians in the bud and sink a Bayern side still buzzing from their San Siro triumph.
The Pick
Borussia Dortmund to win @ 4.20
The Conservative
Both teams to score @ 1.60/ Over 2.5 goals @ 1.61
The Long Shot
Bayern Munich 0-3 Borussia Dortmund @ 51.0
Dortmund's last league win in Munich was by a 3-0 scoreline in 1991
