Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

Borussia Dortmund (5 wins, 3 losses, 0 draws) welcomes Bayern Munich (4-1-3) to Signal Iduna Park Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich odds, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

Both clubs, which typically sit atop the German league, had offseasons that changed the outlook of each drastically.

Bayern Munich lost F Robert Lewandowski who went to Barcelona. They did add F Sadio Mane from Liverpool, who has made an immediate impact. Borussia Dortmund’s main transaction was the loss of F Erling Haaland who is now with Manchester City.

Dortmund has still found success and sits at 15 points, same as Bayern. Both sit 3rd on the Bundesliga table. Dortmund has scored 11 goals (captain M Marco Reus is tied for the team-high with 2) and has allowed 10.

Bayern has been its usual dominant self, but it hasn’t been able to turn those into wins consistently. It has a league-best 23 goals and is tied for a league-low 6 goals allowed. However, it has just 4 wins in 8 matches.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Bayern is the best team in the league whether or not it has necessarily got the results.

However, on the road, at this value, I would pass on the moneyline of -150. It  just isn’t good enough as Bayern clearly is still trying to figure out how to close out matches. It is just 2-1-1 on the road this season.

Dortmund, on the other hand, has lost just once at home and won 3 times. If there is a play on the moneyline it is for Dortmund to win outright, but I’d rather look to the total for value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-110).

Both games between these 2 clubs finished 3-1 in favor of Bayern last year, but both teams also lost their leading scorer. The turnover has weighed heavily on Dortmund.

They’ve averaging just 1.38 goals per game and are taking on one of the best defenses in the league.

However, Bayern has also struggled offensively. In 2 games, they scored 13 goals, but Bayern has had 2 or fewer in 5 of 8 league games.

Also, throughout all competitions, Bayern has 7 clean sheets in 13 appearances. They held even Barcelona to 0 in a Champions League battle.

Given Bayern’s defense and both teams’ offensive struggles, I’d play the UNDER 3.5 (-110).

Borussia Dortmund vs. Schalke 04 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Borussia Dortmund vs. Schalke 04 odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

Borussia Dortmund (4 wins, 2 losses, 0 draws) welcomes Schalke 04 (1-2-3) to Westfalenstadion Saturday. Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Borussia Dortmund vs. Schalke 04 odds, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

Borussia will enter their seventh Bundesliga match following a 2-1 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League. Dortmund is on a 2-game losing streak, dropping their last league match to RB Leipzig 3-0.

The painful part of their recent plays was that they were leading 1-0 late in the match on the EPL-winning Man City. Dortmund is led by M Marco Reus, who is the only player with 2 goals for the club.

Schalke 04 will enter this match with 3 road games already under their belt. They have a 0-1-2 record on the road and sit 12th in the Bundesliga. They’re led by 29-year-old F Marius Bülter, who has 3 goals on the season.

Schalke 04 has had more expected goals than their opponent in 3 straight matches. They haven’t been able to finish off matches. They’ll want to avoid that trend moving forward.

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 3, Schalke 04 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

I like Dortmund to win at home, and Schalke has had some difficult games against mid-tier sides this season.

However, at -240, there isn’t much value, and you could go ahead and back Dortmund by assuming they’ll heavily limit Schalke as they’ve had 3 clean sheets in 6 games this season.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-150).

Dortmund’s defense has taken their play to the next level as of late.

As noted, they have had multiple clean sheets this season and have also managed to win several gritty matches, beating Hertha BSC 1-0 and Hoffenheim by the same score. At this total, they’ve be 2-4 O/U.

While Schalke’s defense leaves much to be desired so has its attack. It has multiple goals in just 2 league matches.

While its defense has been the problem, Schalke has also only allowed more than 2 expected goals just one time this season, so it could start to get some luck on its side defensively.

Dortmund has gone Under this total in 4 of 5 matches at home through all competitions while Schalke has gone Under it in its last 2 straight road matches.

It has been steamed up from -125, but I’ll take the UNDER 3.5 (-150) here.

Manchester City vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Manchester City vs. Borussia Dortmund odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

Manchester City (1-0) welcomes Borussia Dortmund (1-0) to Etihad Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Manchester City vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester City, who won the English Premier League last season, kicked off their Champions League group stage round with a 4-0 win over Sevilla.

Superstar F Erling Haaland, who has 10 goals in 6 games, will be facing his former club, Dortmund. Haaland is the attacking stud with M Kevin de Bruyne still controlling the middle of the pitch.

As for Dortmund, they’ve actually had success in the Bundesliga this season, sitting 5th in the league. They also kicked off their Champions League campaign by toppling Copenhagen 3-0.

Their roster is different without Haaland, but their long-time M Marco Reus is still the leader and has a team-high 2 goals in 6 matches. Dortmund only has 8 goals in those 6 games.

Prediction

Manchester City 2, Borussia Dortmund 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

Manchester City is the favorite for a reason, and while I believe Dortmund will give them a good, tough match, the home side should prevail. At -520, there’s not much reason to back them.

The only value on the money line is a draw at +650 as City did lose twice in the group stage a season ago and will be vulnerable to a team undoubtedly set to play well with their former teammate on the pitch.

Nonetheless, I’d preferably play the total here.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-102).

Most groups in the Champions League have 2 competitive teams and 2 that aren’t quite at the level of the other 2. Dortmund and City are by far the best teams in this group.

Last season City had PSG in their group, and both of those matches went under 3.5 total goals with City having under 2 expected goals in each. Dortmund has only allowed 7 goals in 5 Bundesliga games.

German D Mats Hummels is one of the best centerbacks in the world and should be able to lock down his former teammate. Dortmund has gone under this total in 4 straight matches and in 6 of 8 throughout all competitions.

City has also failed to top 3 expected goals in a competitive match this season. I expect this to be competitive with Dortmund having played well. They should challenge City enough to limit their scoring.

Considering Dortmund’s weakness scoring as well mixed with City having 4 shutouts in 8 matches throughout all competitions, I’ll take the UNDER 3.5 (-102).

RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Dortmund odds and lines, with Bundesliga picks and predictions.

RB Leipzig (1 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws) welcomes Borussia Dortmund (4-1-0) to Red Bull Arena Leipzig with Saturday’s kickoff set for 8:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Dortmund odds and lines, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

Few would have believed that through 5 matches Dortmund would be sitting atop the league — while also having a loss. However, league-favorite Bayern Munich has drawn 2 matches.

Dortmund had scored 8 goals and allowed 4 in the first few weeks of the season. They’re also coming off a 3-0 UEFA Champions League win Tuesday over Copenhagen. Borussia is led in scoring by M Marco Reus, who has 2 goals and 2 assist in 5 matches.

RB Leipzig also qualified for the Champions League, however, it didn’t go as flawlessly. They lost 4-1 to Shakhtar Donetsk and have won just 1 of their first 5 league matches.

Leipzig is led by 24-year-old French F Christopher Nkunku, who has 4 goals. He led the team last season with 20 goals and 13 assists in 34 matches (31 starts). Leipzig is 1-0-1 at home this season.

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 3, RB Leipzig 1

Money line (ML)

BET BORUSSIA DORTMUND (+175).

My favorite play in this match is to back the road side.

After all, Leipzig has been playing horrible soccer as of late, allowing 4 goals in their last 2 matches. They also kicked off the season with a 5-3 loss to Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup.

Similarly, while it has one hiccup, Dortmund has been dominant, winning 3 straight and allowing under 1 expected goal in each of those. Their defense, led by veteran D Mats Hummels, has been impressive, having yet to allow over 1.5 expected goals in any competition.

Dortmund is undefeated on the road as well, so they are familiar with being able to succeed in tough environments. Combine it all, and the value on Dortmund is too great not to play.

Check out Pro Soccer Wire: For the American soccer fan, USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s website provides a fresh look at the beautiful game.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 3.5 (+133).

Dortmund has gone over this in just 2 of 5 matches in Bundesliga play, but it’s less about their ability to score and more about Leipzig’s recent bout of incompetence.

Leipzig has allowed 8 goals in their last 2 games. They have had 8 matches throughout all competitions and in 3 of them at least 4 goals have been scored by their opponent. In 5 of 8, their opponent has tallied at least 2.

Against a Dortmund side with a terrific midfield and speed up top, they should be able to break through with ease, much like Shakhtar did in the Champions League.

Also, while Dortmund’s defense has been great, Leipzig has scored at least once in 7 of their 8 matches, so they should be able to get on the board.

Couple that with Dortmund having played lacking offensive sides, and we should see a high-scoring match on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds and lines, with Bundesliga picks and predictions.

To help commence the Bundesliga season, Borussia Dortmund will welcome Bayer Leverkusen to Westfalenstadion. Saturday’s kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds and lines, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

Borussia Dortmund is going to have to figure its attack out coming into the new season, having lost star F Erling Haaland, who is now with EPL side Manchester City.

It will still have M Marco Reus, who has led the team’s midfield for many seasons. He had the club’s most assists (13) last season. Dortmund finished 2nd in the league, trailing Bayern Munich by 8 points. They beat 1860 Munich 3-0 in the DFB-Pokal Round of 64 on July 29.

As for Bayer, they lost their Round of 64 match 4-3 to Elversberg. The club does still have F Patrik Schick, who led the team with 24 goals a season ago. Bayer finished 3rd in the Bundesliga last year so this is a battle of two heavy-weight clubs right out the gate.

Check out Pro Soccer Wire: For the American soccer fan, USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s website provides a fresh look at the beautiful game.

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 2, Bayer Leverkusen 1

Money line (ML)

BET Borussia Dortmund (+105).

Dortmund was unstoppable at home last season, posting 13 wins and 4 losses. They beat Bayer 4-3 on the road last season, but had that win virtually evened out by a 5-2 home loss.

Their crushing home defeat was without Haaland, the team’s main attacking force. F Thorgan Hazard and 17-year-old F Jamie Bynoe-Gittens may have to carry the load, but they’re more than capable to step up into that striker role.

Bayer lost just 3 road games last season, so it is a formidable side, but considering how they kicked off the Pokal tournament, it seems they could be destined for a more challenging season.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 3.5 (-115).

Dortmund is going to have to figure things out up top and do it against one of the better German sides. While I expect them to win, there’s no denying that type of change is going to have a feeling-out process.

As for Bayer, they are returning their captain, GK Lukáš Hrádecký, and had the sixth-best defense in the league last season. They should be able to give Dortmund some early issues.

Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund odds and lines, with Bundesliga picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich (23 wins, 4 losses, 3 draws) welcomes Borussia Dortmund (20-7-3) to Allianz Arena Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund odds and lines, and make our best Bundesliga bets, picks and predictions.

This is an important match for Bayern Munich, which can clinch the Bundesliga title with a win. Following a discouraging Champions League exit, this will be a good opportunity to rebound.

Bayern is led by 33-year-old Polish F Robert Lewandowski, who has scored 32 goals in 30 starts. Bayern has won 4 straight league games and is 12-2-1 at home this season.

Bayern beat Dortmund 3-2 in league play and 3-1 in DFL-Supercup competition.

As for Dortmund, it is led by 21-year-old Norwegian F Erling Haaland, who has 18 goals this season. Dortmund has won 2 straight league games and 4 of its last 6.

[tipico]

Prediction

Bayern Munich 1, Borussia Dortmund 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN to the DRAW (+480).

I would only put a small unit on this, but Dortmund played Bayern close in its lone league match this season. It held Bayern to 5 shots on target while putting 4 on frame.

While Bayern is the superior side, the value is here to take a risk on a draw. Bayern has the best defense in Bundesliga action, allowing under a goal per game.

Dortmund has thrived defensively as of late, allowing its opponent to score 2 or more goals in just 1 of its last 7 league games.

Given Bayern is 2-1-1 across its last 4 matches in all competitions, it may coast to the league title, giving Dortmund a decent shot to steal a draw on the road.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (+125).

In all competitions, Bayern has gone Under 3.5 total goals in 4 straight games.

It is 3-7 O/U 3.5 in its last 10 games. Bayern’s offense is the best in the league, but its defense is also elite. It hasn’t allowed multiple goals since Feb. 12.

Dortmund is 2-5 O/U 3.5 goals in its last 7. It has allowed multiple goals in just 1 of its last 7. Dortmund has a capable defense, and its offense will be taking on the best defense in the league.

Combine it all, and at this value, I like the UNDER 3.5 (+125).
