How to Watch Der Klassiker: FC Bayern München and Borussia Dortmund

About Der Klassiker

Bayern and Dortmund first met all the way back in 1965, but the rivalry didn’t intensify until the mid-90s when Dortmund started winning league titles and competing with Bayern for the top spot. Since then, it’s been mostly back and forth between the two, but recent history favors Bayern. In the past 20 contests, the series is 14-3-3 in favor of Bayern.

The books agree with recent history, as Bayern is a -165 moneyline favorite to win outright on Saturday. Dortmund moneyline and a draw are equal odds at +340.

Commentators Derek Rae and Stewart Robson (English) and Ricardo Ortiz and Barak Fever (Spanish) will call the match from the ESPN studios in Bristol, Conn., with pitch-side reporting and analysis from Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund by Germany-based Bundesliga reporter Archie Rhind-Tutt alongside analyst and Germany’s U20 coach Hannes Wolf.
