The biggest game of the Bundesliga season takes place on Tuesday evening as Borussia Dortmund host Bayern Munich in a clash which could go a long way to deciding who wins the title.
With current champions Bayern Munich four points clear of their rivals, they know that a win away at their closest rivals would put them seven points clear with just six games remaining. Given how recent games have gone in the Bundesliga for Bayern, it would be an almost insurmountable lead for Dortmund to chase down.
So, can Dortmund win against their fiercest rivals, and the current seven-time consecutive Bundesliga champions at Signal Iduna Park without their famous fans? The ‘yellow wall’ of fans that won’t be there could be felt very keenly by a side who need all the inspiration they can get to triumph.
Munich are favourites going into the game, a shade under evens at around 10/11 generally, with Dortmund available at 5/2 or 13/5 across the board. The draw is around 10/3, and to us, that looks the best straight bet you can make. A stalemate is a great result for Munich and keeps their rivals at more than arm’s length, given them a four-point cushion heading into the final six games, five of which should be easy enough to win.
