Match week nine gets underway in the German Bundesliga, and one of the rounds of matches sees Borussia Dortmund welcome Last season's Bundesliga Champions Bayern Munich to their home ground in what will be a truly entertaining tie between two heavyweights. The match takes place on 8th October at the home turf of the host, Signal Iduna Park. The 2022/2023 season has had unfamiliar standings as Union Berlin surprisingly sits top of the log after match week eight, after their excellent run of form. More so, Dortmund, on equal points with the visitors heading into this tie, are just two points away from the top of the table, and they will be desperate to avoid a defeat to maintain their quest for the league and champions league football. However, if the home side hopes to achieve anything from this game, they need to be at their optimum best against a fearless and committed Bayern Munich, who, despite not being in their best possible form in recent weeks, is still a force to be reckoned.

Bayern Munich head into this tie third on the Bundesliga logs after a string of draws which has led them to drop needless points along the road in recent weeks. The Bavarians will be desperate to return to consecutive winning ways after their recent triumph in Europe during the midweek, a tie which saw them Brush off Viktoria Plzen 5-0, keeping a clean sheet in the process. The cards seem to be falling in place once again for the visitors as their frontline players look like a team who had been firing on all cylinders in recent weeks before their abrupt lack of form. In this tie, we are backing the visitors to subdue the home team and grind out a hard-fought win against a Dortmund side that will miss the high presence of talented Erling Haaland after seeing the young forward make a transfer to England during the summer. Dortmund succumbed to a defeat in their last League tie against Cologne. Hence they will be desperate to return to winning when they go head-to-head against Bayern Munich.

Whenever these two sides come against each other, it has always been a tie that promises lots of entertainment, with goals scored from both ends. In this tie, we predict the visitors to come out on top after the blast of the match whistle as they are in better form when compared with the host. The visitors have lost just one of their last nine matches heading into this tie, with their recent goals record standing at nine goals in their last two matches to bolster further their wealth of attacking talent. The trio of Sadio Mane, Jude Bellingham, and Leroy Sane has been clicking recently, scoring goals from all angles. Thus, we expect them to outwit and outscore the home side to make it three wins from their last three meetings.
