Borussia Dortmund - Köln predictions

Borussia Dortmund should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Saturday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.43.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Borussia D. and the 7.02 odds given to Köln to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

When we talk about Borussia Dortmund’s previous Bundesliga result, it’s fair to say hosts can be pretty happy to have avoided a heavier defeat. They were the 7.17 underdogs last time out and a narrow Bayern München HT/FT loss is not something to scoff at.

Bundesliga betting odds described the away team’s previous engagement as a rather close call, so it’s no surprise that it ended with a draw. The outcome is far from great news for Köln, though, who were hoping that the home-field advantage will be enough to allow them to overcome the opposition.

Borussia D. have scored at least once in each of their previous seven matches, so a null result is not very likely.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Köln. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

The league’s table positions are slowly settling in, and Borussia Dortmund find themselves near the top. They are 7 points behind the table leaders, so this game will be a great chance to work towards taking the lead.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
