Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich Live Streaming : A winner takes all clash in the Bundesliga
Borussia Dortmund are considered as 13/5 underdogs by Paddy Power to defeat Bayern Munich as the top two sides in the Bundesliga meet in a clash that could play a huge part in the title race this season.
All eyes in the Bundesliga will fall on Signal Iduna Park as Borussia Dortmund will hope to become the first side to defeat Bayern Munich in the league this season
Borussia Dortmund are currently 2nd in the table but are four points behind their title rivals and a loss could see them also slip to third behind local rivals Bayer Leverkusen.
Despite being at home, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp will no doubt be feeling the pressure after losing yet more first name stars to injury over the internatonal break.
Both Marcel Schmelzer and Mats Hummels picked up injuries in Germany’s 1-0 win against England which will rule them out for the next few games joining several of their other first team counterparts such as Lukas Piszczek and Neven Subotic.

injuries mean that club captain Jakub Blaszczykowski and midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz will have to operate in the full back positions whilst Manuel Freidrich will come in and play in central defence.
With Dortmund having been laid bare by injuries, there won’t be a better time for Bayern Munich to put some daylight between them and their titles rivals just a few weeks before the mid-winter break.
There will be one significant absentee from the Bayern line-up though as winger Franck Ribery joins Bastian Schwiensteiger on the injury list for the next few weeks.
With Ribery out of action, boss Pep Guardiola could call upon Spanish midfielder Javi Martinez to make his first appearance since suffering a serious injury at the end of last season.
Summer signing Thiago Alcantara could also earn himself a spot on the bench after he has also seemingly recovered from the fitness problems that have limited his number of appearances throughout the entire season.
A lot of focus will also fall onto how Mario Gotze will act as he faces his old club for the first time and could draw a lot of strong responses from fans throughout the stadium.
Both sides know that there is a lot riding on this game with the ramifications being huge for both Bayern and Dortmund depending on who picks up the three points at the end of the 90 minutes.
