Borussia Dortmund - Arminia Bielefeld betting tips and odds

Borussia Dortmund are seen as favourites to win this match against Arminia Bielefeld. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Arminia will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Borussia D. fans are hoping for a better outing than what they were shown in the previous bout at Augsburg . The team was close to an expected away win, but couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the later stages of the game and ended up settling for a 1:1 draw.

Arminia unexpectedly kept up with the visiting team, Augsburg, in their previous home game. However, they stumbled towards the end and had to contend with a narrow 0:1 defeat.

Borussia Dortmund tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

Arminia Bielefeld are noted for taking a rather restrained and passive approach – at least as far as their most recent home games are concerned. The previous two confirmed the Under 5 Goals market, meaning they weren’t very exciting.

With as little as 9 points between them and the best-placed team in the Bundesliga, the hosts are well motivated to give their best. With the odds in their favour as well, moving on to the Champions League is another strong possibility.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Bundesliga season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Team from Bielefeld. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Mate Morey, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Thomas Meunier, Erling Braut Håland, Marco Reus, Abdoulaye Kamara, Marcel Schmelzer will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

Thankfully, Arminia Bielefeld will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
