Betting on Borussia Dortmund
It seems that Borussia Dortmund is poised to break Bayern Munich’s dominance in the Bundesliga and clinch its first league title since the 2012 season, when the team won its eighth one.
In a real back-and-forth battle for the top spot in the championship, the Black and Yellows only need a win at home in the last matchday to secure the title that is currently in its hands with 70 points, two more than the Bavarians.
Coached by Edin Terzic, Borussia Dortmund certainly deserves to be in this position, having not lost in the last seven matches, and only suffered one defeat in the last 18 league games. Besides, the team is also the second-highest scoring team with 81 goals, and has the fourth-best defense with 42 goals conceded.
However, that’s not all. Borussia Dortmund must be thrilled to be playing for the title in front of its fans, as it has only lost one of the 16 home games played, scoring an impressive 53 goals, and conceding only 15.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Gregor Kobel; Marius Wolf, Nico Schlotterbeck, Niklas Sule, Julian Ryerson; Emre Can, Raphael Guerreiro, Julian Brandt, Karim Adeyemi, Donyell Malen; Sébastien Haller.
Betting on 1. FSV Mainz 05
After fighting for European spots for several weeks, Mainz will finally not compete in any continental competition next season, since the team had a very negative end to the championship.
Coached by Bo Svensson, the team went from heaven to earth in a matter of days. In fact, it had a 10-week unbeaten streak, but it is currently on a four-game losing streak. This performance sent the team to ninth place in the standings with 45 points, five less than Bayer Leverkusen, which is in the Conference League spot.
It could be said that the main cause of Mainz’s problems is its defense, which has conceded 13 goals in the last four matches. Actually, it is the ninth most scored against team in the league, with 53 goals conceded. This is a very bad omen before facing the team that has scored the most goals at home this year in the upcoming Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz clash.
Regarding its away performance, Mainz had not done badly during the season. However, in the last five matches, it has only won one game, and has conceded 28 goals in just 16 matches played.
Possible Lineup (3-3-2-2-2): Finn Dahmen; Stefan Bell, Edimilson Fernandes, Dominik Kohr; Danny da Costa, Anton Stach, Anthony Caci; Leandro Barreiro, Aymen Barkok; Karim Onisiwo, Marcus Ingvartsen.
JefeBet Prediction
Borussia Dortmund is going to win this match. In fact, the Black and Yellows will be the new champions of the Bundesliga, but betting on the Moneyline for this game doesn’t make much sense, since its odds do not generate any dividends.
Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that the Over 3.5 option looks quite friendly. Although scoring four goals is complicated, in a league like the Bundesliga, goals are always on the cards.
Moreover, Dortmund averages 3.3 goals per game when playing at home, and in the last three matches in this condition, the team has scored no less than four goals. If that was not enough, in the upcoming Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz, the former will face one of the worst defenses in the championship, which is not in its best moment.
We can also add that Mainz could score some goals. Actually, the visiting team has the seventh-best attack in the league with 52 goals scored, and four of the last five direct matches have seen both teams score goals. Therefore, there is no doubt about going to DraftKings to play the Over (3.5), which has a line of (-170), and will make you win $59 for every $100 bet.
Prediction: Over (BOR 3 – MAI 1).
