Darmstadt 98 - Borussia Dortmund predictions

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

Things looked bleak and dreary for Darmstadt 98 who took a step towards what would have been a widely expected defeat in the previous Bundesliga round. However, they showed great strength of character by getting back to their feet and earning an impressive Hoffenheim draw.

Team from Dortmund are coming on the back of a rather disappointing HT/FT draw in their most recent home game. They had a lot going for them before kick-off, with both favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Unfortunately for them, the game ended up being one long standstill.
