LiontipsBorussia Dortmund – Union Bundesliga match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
After the appearance of Niko Kovac on the coaching bridge, Borussia continues to play very unstable and unpredictable. In the Champions League, in the 1/16 finals, there was a confident victory over Sporting on the road (3:0), after which the rivals parted in peace in Dortmund (0:0). At the same time, in the Bundesliga, the Bumblebees lost in the last two rounds and left even the top 10, being on the 11th line. The opponents of Borussia were Stuttgart (1:2) and Bochum (0:2). If earlier the team practically did not lose points at home, now even the support of the fans does not really help – not a single victory in the previous five matches on their own field.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Nmecha is injured and will not play today.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of Borussia's four previous matches, a 0-0 draw was recorded in the first half.
- In eight of Borussia's last ten home games in the Bundesliga, at least three goals have been scored.
Approximate composition: Male – Ruerson, Jan, Schlotterback, Bansebaini – Zabitzer, Gross – Adeyemi, Brandt, Gittens – Girassi.
Current form
Back in January, Union managed to break its protracted series of failures, but it still does not demonstrate a stable game. So, after an excellent 4-0 away win over Hoffenheim, a 1-2 home defeat against Borussia Monchengladbach followed. Before that, there was an away draw with Leipzig (0-0). As such, Steffen Baumgart's team is currently not solving any serious tournament tasks. There is a solid 10-point gap from the relegation zone, and it will also not be possible to compete for a place in European competitions. By the start of the 23rd round, the Berliners are on the 13th line in the table, with 24 points in their asset.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kemlein is injured and will not play today. The entry of Vogt and Skov into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Union had not lost in the first half in three of the previous five matches.
- In seven of the last nine Bundesliga matches, Union has not scored more than one goal.
Approximate line–up: Rennov – Juranovic, Duki, Leite, Rote - Haberer, Khedira – Ljubicic, Yong, Hollerbach – Ilic.
Trends
The totalrateof Union yellow cards is less than 2.5
Union's players have not received more than two warnings in seven of the last nine away matches in the Bundesliga.
1.54Bet Goals in both halves – yes
In the previous four face-to-face matches, goals were scored in each of the halves.
1.76The bet is an accurate score of 2:0
This score was recorded in three of the last ten face-to-face meetings.
8.10Tip and bets
Borussia has not won on its own field in the Bundesliga for five rounds in a row, the series has clearly dragged on, and another setback will significantly reduce the chances of a place in the European Cup zone. Union is not particularly stable, the problems in the attack have not disappeared, and the defense is no longer as reliable as it was at the start of the season. In three of the four previous face-to-face meetings, the bumblebees won, which we are waiting for this time.
Our forecast is that Borussia will win with an Asian handicap (-1) for a coefficient of 1.90
Bet on the total
Union has lost seven of its last eight matches away from home, taking into account all tournaments. It should be noted that in five cases the defeats were with a "dry" score. There is a high probability that the Berliners will not be able to open the enemy's defenses even once today.
The second bet is the individual total of Union goals less than one with a coefficient of 1.70
Betting on corners
Let's pay attention to the fact that Union has served at least four corners in seven previous away matches in the Bundesliga. Based on these statistics, we recommend another forecast.
Bet: the total number of Union corners is more than 3.5 corners with a coefficient of 1.62
