Köln - Borussia Dortmund predictions

Köln are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Bundesliga, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.50, it’s not very likely to happen.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Borussia Dortmund. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Bundesliga but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

Previously in the Bundesliga, The Billy Goats won only one point, tying with Heidenheim in a relatively close matchup. Though not a disaster, the fact that they dropped the first-half lead was disheartening for their home fans.

Borussia Dortmund won their previous away game 0:3 after maintaining a steady lead in both halves. That said, Bundesliga betting odds were decidedly in their favour with prices hovering around 1.58 with top bookies, so it’s hard to say anyone was surprised by the triumph.

The Billy Goats’s last five Bundesliga appearances all ended with less than two goals on the final tally. With that in mind, an Under 2.5 Goals market might be something to consider.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Team from Dortmund is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

Adding three more points on Saturday to their tally should not be too big of a problem for Team from Dortmund. The visitors are well poised to claim a win and you can back them at 1.75 odds offered at online bookies.

We last saw these two teams clash in the previous season when Borussia Dortmund walked away with a decisive victory. Both the bookies and most betting tips are expecting another win for them here.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Davie Selke, Mark Uth, Luca Waldschmidt, Leart Paqarda are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Julian Ryerson, Julien Duranville, Karim Adeyemi, Felix Nmecha will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Borussia D., though.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.50. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
