Overview
The Bundesliga top two teams will face each other in the 138th Super classic of the tournament, as both Bayern Munich and Dortmund are determined to maintain their unbeaten streak this season.
Bayern Munich are showing their destructive form with 6 absolute victories after 6 Bundesliga rounds 2025-2026, conceding only 3 goals. Meanwhile, Dortmund are still chasing closely behind, 4 points behind, with a record of 4 wins and 2 draws since the beginning of the season.
A record will certainly be broken this weekend, with Bayern Munich (15 matches) and Dortmund (14 matches) holding the two longest unbeaten streaks in the top 5 European leagues. The question is which team will be on the right to lose first.
Overall, Bayern have won all 8 of their most recent matches in the tournament - the longest streak since 2020, when Hansi Flick led the team to 14 consecutive wins. Now, coach Vincent Kompany is aiming to equal Dortmund's record.
The team in the black yellow shirt, under Thomas Tuchel in the 2015-16 season, is the only team in Bundesliga history to have won all 11 of the first official matches of the season. This is an achievement that Bayern can balance if they win at the Allianz Arena.
And the "Gray Tigers" are in good form enough to do that. They have scored 25 goals - the highest number ever recorded at this stage of a Bundesliga campaign.
Harry Kane is leading the attack in an impressive way, starting the 2025-2026 season with brilliant form. He has scored 11 goals, including two hat-tricks, setting a new record for the number of goals scored by a player in the first 6 matches.
Meanwhile, Dortmund will likely not have the service of star striker Serhou Guirassy as he is still struggling with a thigh injury. However, coach Niko Kovac still hopes to possess this energetic striker in the starting lineup.
In 2025, only Kylian Mbappe (44 goals) and Harry Kane (39 goals) have scored more club-level goals than Guirassy (32 goals) among the players in the top 5 European national championships.
No player has a higher total expected goals (xG) than Guirassy (34.8) in the same period. He also achieved impressive performance with a shot-to-goal conversion rate of up to 25% and an average of one goal scored per 102 minutes of play.
Guirassy has contributed to a third of Dortmund's goals in the Bundesliga this season (4/12). In addition, Karim Adeyemi (2 goals) is their only player to have scored more than once.
However, regardless of who scored, Niko Kovac's students still showed stability in attack. Dortmund have scored in 14 consecutive Bundesliga games, proving that they are not easy to stop in the final third.
Head-to-head record
Bayern Munich have lost 33 times to Dortmund in the Bundesliga - more than any other opponent.
The "Gray Tigers" have also failed to win in their last three meetings with Dortmund (2 draws, 1 loss) - their longest winless streak against their opponents since 2010-2012.
Meanwhile, Dortmund are showing impressive form away from home. They have won their last two Bundesliga appearances against defending champions - 2-0 against Bayern in March 2024 and 4-2 against Bayer Leverkusen in May 2025.
