Betting on Borussia Dortmund
The start of 2023 has been full of good times for Borussia Dortmund, which has won all seven of its matches since the turn of the year, five of which have been in the Bundesliga. The team’s performance has allowed it to rejoin the fight for the title, given that it started this round in third place in the standings, but only three points from the top.
The Borussians were able to translate that strong performance in the league to their Champions League round of 16 first leg, where they claimed an important 1-0 home win over English side Chelsea. This was their second clean sheet in a row after beating Werder Bremen 2-0 away last weekend.
Keeping this defensive performance could be key to their title aspirations, as it would further help one of the most productive offenses in the league, with 40 goals in 20 games, that has scored at least two goals in nine of its last ten home games.
Possible Lineup (4-4-1-1): Gregor Kobel; Julian Reyerson, Matts Hummels, Niklas Süle, Raphael Guerreiro; Julian Brandt, Salih Özcan, Jude Bellingham, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens; Marcus Reus; Sebastian Haller.
Betting on Hertha Berlin
Things have been very different on the sidelines for Hertha Berlin, who came into the weekend on the back of a stunning 4-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach the previous matchday. However, the team is still in the relegation zone, occupying the sixteenth position in the standings, two points from salvation.
That win snapped a run of four consecutive league defeats for the capital outfit, a stretch in which they performed poorly both defensively and offensively, conceding a total of 13 goals and going scoreless in three of those matches, scoring just one goal in the process.
Indeed, those offensive problems have plagued Hertha Berlin all year, as only Schalke has scored fewer goals than them so far this campaign. Going on the road only worsens the picture for Hertha, as it has scored just eight of its 24 goals so far on the road.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Oliver Christensen; Jonjoe Kenny, Filip Urenovic, Oliver Kempf, Márton Dárdai; Dodi Lukebakio, Tolga Cigerci, Lucas Tousart, Suat Serdar, Marvin Plattenhardt; Florian Niederlechner.
JefeBet Prediction
Dortmund is in the midst of an inspired run of form, and this match provides the perfect opportunity to keep that momentum going. The Borussians have won seven of their previous eight meetings with Hertha Berlin, scoring at least two goals in each of those games. That successful stretch included a 1-0 win in their first-round clash this campaign.
Signal Iduna Park has also been an almost unconquerable fortress this season, as Dortmund has lost just one of its 13 games there and has not lost in its last 11 home games. Therefore, with Hertha being the visitors on this occasion, we expect them to maintain that solidity and come away with a comfortable win.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund Asian Handicap (DOR 3 – 0 HER).
