The two biggest sides in Germany collide in the Der Klassiker, when second-placed Dortmund host leaders Bayern Munch in a blockbuster encounter, then on Sunday, Arsenal will continue their march towards the Premier League title when Chelsea arrive at the Emirates for a massive London derby.

Event # 1 – GER – Dortmund vs Bayern Munich – 12:30 PM

The famous German Der Klassiker arrives this Saturday in Germany with both teams in impressive domestic form ahead of this expected thriller. However, Champions Bayern Munich lead second-placed Dortmund by eight points, but Dortmund’s recent run of form suggests this will not be a one sided affair for Bayern Munich. Indeed, Dortmund came from two goals down last week away to RB Leipzig to secure a hard fought 2-2 draw and extend their unbeaten run in the league to 18 matches. In fact, Dortmund have lost just once in the last twenty-three league games. With that said, Dortmund are the only team yet to taste defeat at home in the league this season and have won each of the last six matches in front of their own fans. They will provide a stern test to their rivals Bayern Munich, who are aiming to inflict a first home defeat to “BVB”.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich head to Dortmund aiming to inflict a second league defeat on their great rivals as they won the reverse fixture 2-1 when both teams met earlier this season. The defending German champions have been scoring goals for fun and will be aiming to continue that trend, having scored 85 goals from their 23 leagues matches played so far this season. Bayern enter this match off the back of a 3-2 win against Frankfurt last weekend, before that, they brushed aside Werder Bremen 3-0 and thrashed Hoffenheim 5-1. Away from home, Bayern Munich have been equally devastating, securing 29 points from a possible 33, with nine wins and two draws from the eleven matches. What that means is, whatever happens, fans will be treated to a spectacle as the best home team hosts the best away team, which means there will be fireworks at Signal Iduna Park tomorrow, Saturday, February 28.

Key Stats

•Dortmund has won the last five home matches Bundesliga matches and five of the last six domestic games.

•Bayern Munich has won four of the last six Bundesliga but has lost just one of the 23 Bundesliga matches this season.

•Both sides – Over 3.5 goals have been scored in four of Dortmund’s last six matches, while four or more goals have been scored in three of Bayern’s last five matches.

The betting tip: Draw & both teams to score.

The football world will turn their attention to the Emirates Stadium this Sunday as another massive London derby is set to explode, when champion’s elect Arsenal, welcome Chelsea in an eagerly anticipated Premier League blockbuster clash.

With the fight for Champions League places in the Premier League at its fiercest between Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool, Chelsea cannot afford another stumble here, but that is easier said than done against an Arsenal side that has won 10 of the 13 home matches, losing just once and has beaten them on each of the last four visits to the Emirates Stadium.
