Match preview
But, in the subsequent decade, the Bavarian giants have had a stranglehold over German honours, and this could be the day they secure a tenth successive title.
Right now, Julian Nagelsmann’s side are nine points clear at the top and, with just three games to go after this, the title will be theres with victory.
This is the case after Bayern beat Arminia Bielefeld 3-0 last weekend with Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala on target at Bielefelder Alm.
Despite this being their third win in a row, there was much celebrating in Munich as the whole city is still in shock following Bayern’s Champions League exit.
The Reds were dumped out of Europe at the quarter-final stage by a very unfancied Villarreal, losing 1-0 in Spain before a last-gasp 1-1 draw at home.
Having also been hammered by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB-Pokal in October, Bayern are cruising towards a tenth straight title very unceremoniously.
Borussia Dortmund meanwhile come into this red-letter fixture following a 6-1 demolition of Wolfsburg at Westfalenstadion.
17 year old Tom Rothe opened the scoring before Axel Witsel, Manuel Akanji, Emre Can and Erling Braut Håland also scored.
This win means Marco Rose’s side are guaranteed a top four finish, but there hasn’t been much else to shout about in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Die Schwarzgelben have actually lost seven Bundesliga matches so, possibly, feel further behind Bayern than ever before.
Will the hosts rubber stamp their tenth consecutive title with a victory at Allianz Arena?

Julian Nagelsmann is short of defenders right now with Lucas Hernández and Niklas Süle, who’s joining Dortmund this summer, both injured.
So, Dayot Upamecano and Benjamin Pavard could be joined by Tanguy Nianzou again with Josip Stanišić the alternative.
Alphonso Davies is available again after missing around four months due to a suspected heart problem.
Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sané were both on the bench against Arminia Bielefeld, but both could return here.
Robert Lewandowski will lead the line against his old club; he’s now just 56 behind Gerd Müller’s record of 365 goals in the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund team news
At the other end of the pitch, this could be Erling Braut Håland’s final Der Klassiker appearance with the Norwegian set to move this summer.
For now, he’ll lead the line with Julian Brandt and Marco Reus in support.
Midfield and winger options Mahmoud Dahoud, Thorgan Hazard, Gio Reyna, and Donyell Malen are all out injured.
Dortmund are also short of defenders with Thomas Meunier, Mats Hummels, Raphaël Guerreiro and Felix Passlack also clogging up the treatment room.
This saw Marius Wolf and Tom Rothe start at wing-back last weekend, the latter becoming the Bundesliga’s youngest-ever scorer.
