European football's ultimate showdown takes place on Saturday, when Bayern Munich meet their Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund in the final of the Champions League.
Two 1-1 draws in the Bundesliga are a good barometer of how well matched these sides are when taking to the turf together this season, while Bayern's two cup victories were achieved in equally tight contests and by the slenderest of margins (1-0 and 2-1).
So a back of both teams to score at 1.72 is a bet that would have been a winner in three of the four fixtures between these two this season.
The last meeting on neutral ground between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund was the 2012 DFB-Pokal final - a game that Dortmund won 5-2.
BVB striker Robert Lewandowski has scored 22 goals in his last 24 competitive appearances for the club and only Cristiano Ronaldo (12) has scored more Champions League goals than the Polish striker (10) this season.
Lewandowski's virtuoso four-goal demolition of Real Madrid in the semi-final first leg on its own was enough to add another GBP 10 million to an already sizeable price tag. And Bayern know only too well what a threat he is after his five goals against them since the start of last season.
Bayern striker Thomas Muller has scored seven goals in his last eight Champions League matches and he is the joint-third top scorer in this year's Champions League.
Prediction: Both teams to score @ 1.72 with bet365.
