Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: history, goals and TV coverage

Der Klassiker calls for a distinction between the long-term record and the balance of power within a season. Bayern’s historical dominance does not erase close matches, Dortmund’s transitions or the importance of the venue.

History and reference statistics

Before the October 2025 match, Bayern counted 137 meetings since the Bundesliga was founded: 67 Bayern wins, 37 draws and 33 Dortmund wins. In the 2024-2025 league season, however, both meetings ended in draws, with six goals combined and no clean sheets.

Average across these matches: 3.0 goals per game. A clean sheet means conceding no goals; these past results do not describe current form.

How to analyse the fixture

To analyse the fixture, watch the space left behind the players pressing and the ability to defend second balls. Dominating possession does not guarantee victory: in the return match in April 2025, Dortmund equalised after Bayern had turned the score around. Transition sequences and substitutions therefore shed more light on the result than possession alone.
