Bayern München vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.75 expected goals for Bayern München and 1.38 for Borussia Dortmund, a combined total of 4.13.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 78% for over 2.5 goals and 70% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 8%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 66% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Bayern München win, at 66.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 70% and over 2.5 goals at 78%.

A 66% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
