Bayern München - Borussia Dortmund betting tips and odds

With the 1.67 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Borussia Dortmund, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

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

It’s hard to argue against the effectiveness of Bayern München on their home turf. They curtly earned three points against Köln in the last round by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.24 made them huge favourites and that’s exactly how the world’s best bookies online see them this time as well.

The last home win we saw from Borussia D. surprised no one. They had a clear advantage in form and played on their home turf against Arminia Bielefeld, so the decisive victory was predicted by almost every expert who paid attention.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, The Bavarians’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

The Bavarians are top of the pack on the Bundesliga table, so they’re well on their way to a successful finish. Considering they’ll be the favourites this Saturday, their supporters’ optimism grows by the day.

Borussia Dortmund are just 3 points behind a Champions League qualification spot. They have a good chunk of the season ahead of them to get there – though keeping their current spot is likely a priority when playing against Bayern Munich.

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

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Alexander Nübel, Benjamin Pavard, Corentin Tolisso, Malik Tillman, Douglas Costa, Armindo Sieb for the hosts, and Manuel Akanji, Marcel Schmelzer, Thomas Delaney, Axel Witsel for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
