Borussia Dortmund - Arminia Bielefeld betting tips and odds

Borussia Dortmund have been installed as firm favourites by the best online bookmakers and anything but a home win in this match would be considered a huge upset.

Considering what they’re up against, Arminia Bielefeld can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 17.00 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Last round saw Borussia D. take an early lead against Schalke 04 and maintain the momentum up until that last whistle. The match-up was highly favourable, of course, but the squad might be able to keep that same momentum going against Team from Bielefeld.

Arminia lost their previous home game against Wolfsburg with a considerably high 0:3 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

The last 3 times we saw Borussia Dortmund play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Team from Bielefeld lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

Team from Dortmund are currently near the top of the ladder with a 6th position. Still, they’ll need to do better if their goal is higher than the Europa League, and this Saturday offers a great chance to work towards that goal.

Team from Bielefeld are heading into round 23 with 1 point between them and the relegation zone. Moving to a safer table position will be difficult with Borussia Dortmund in the way, though.

The two teams already met this season in the Bundesliga, with Borussia D. taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Manuel Akanji, Łukasz Piszczek, Marcel Schmelzer, Axel Witsel will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 2.10 odds offered at Betfair are more than fair in terms of value.
