Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction 18.10.2025 | Bundesliga

The current season could not have started in a more sensational way for Bayern Munich, who have displayed unstoppable form across all competitions so far, winning each of their opening ten matches and making it clear they intend to fight for every trophy available.

A glance at the Bundesliga table paints a perfect picture for Vincent Kompany’s men, as they stand as the only side with a max record from the opening six top-flight rounds, holding a four-point cushion over closest challengers Dortmund while also setting a new league record by netting an astonishing 25 goals.

Determined to maintain control at the top and distance themselves from the title-chasing group, the Munich machine will lean on their home strength once again, where they’ve brushed aside every opponent to date with a dominant 18–1 total score.

Vincent Kompany faces a setback as both Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala are ruled out, and with four others also missing, he’s likely to rely on the unchanged lineup that cruised past Frankfurt 3-0 in their last Bundesliga outing.

It’s fair to say that Borussia Dortmund are not operating on the same stratospheric level as the Munich giants, but they have every reason to be pleased with their start to the season, having gone unbeaten through their opening nine matches and winning six of them.

Boasting 14 points from their opening six league fixtures (W4 D2), the Black and Yellow currently sit second in the standings, four points adrift of the league leaders, and it remains to be seen whether they can put an end to Bayern’s flawless start.

Mario Kovac and his team head into the clash with the Munich side without fear, having shown decent form away from home this season, remaining unbeaten in all five of their 2025–26 road matches, with added motivation coming from the fact that they collected four points in their last two trips to the Allianz Arena.

Serhou Guirassy remained on the bench throughout his nation’s match against Mozambique due to minor thigh issues, but Coach Kovac confirmed at the press conference that the Guinean talisman will be ready for the high-profile clash with Bayern Munich.
