They have now set a new competition record of 25 goals across the opening six rounds of matches in a Bundesliga campaign.

Kompany's men are on the longest ongoing unbeaten run across Europe’s big five leagues (15), and are clear favourites to keep that run going at home.

Dortmund have also had a fine start to the season, and could cut the gap to just one point after their own unbeaten start to the season under Niko Kovac.

The Black and Yellows have built their title challenge on solid defensive foundations, conceding just four league goals and keeping four clean sheets across their opening six league outings.

Bayern are still missing Hiroki Ito, Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala.

Davies recently returned to full training, but is still sidelined for a few weeks.

Dortmund are without defenders Emre Can and Chelsea loanee Aaron Anselmino. The visitors were handed another potential setback during the international break when striker Serhou Guirassy withdrew from Guinea’s squad with an injury, but he could be fit enough in time.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund prediction and betting tips 

Bayern are in devastating form, and they have the world's most in-form striker in Kane, who will take some stopping.

Dortmund have been solid defensively, but they have struggled in this fixture, and the fitness of Guirassy is a concern.

You can bet on Livescorebet that Bayern will be ruthless, especially at home and we expect them to extend their remarkable winning run.
