Prediction

Bayern Munich 3, Union Berlin 0

Moneyline (ML)

Bayern Munich (-500) is way too expensive to bet on the match result (straight up) line, so look to get creative. BAYERN TO WIN TO NIL (-106) is a much better bet assuming they’re able to keep the clean sheet.

In addition, Bayern Munich F Robert Lewandowski is back after a shinbone injury. He has posted 39 goals in 33 appearances for Bayern Munich across all levels during the 2019-20 campaign. He has special props, and taking LEWANDOWSKI TO SCORE WITH A HEADER (+250) is a nice play, while LEWANDOWSKI TO SCORE ANYTIME (-250) is a much more expensive proposition, but still worth a play.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Bayern to win to nil (-106) returns a profit of $9.50, while Lewandowski to score with a header (+250) fetches a profit of $25 on a $10 bet.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-228) is rather expensive, but a good play considering how explosive Bayern Munich can be offensively, and they’ll likely do most of the heavy lifting in this one. Berlin is rather leaky defensively, too, so that helps the Over chances. If you’re really feeling Munich will fire out of the box in this return to action, Over 3.5 (+105) is plus-money, but it likely requires Berlin scoring at some point.

Borussia Dortmund vs. FC Schalke 04: Bundesliga odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday, May 15 at 3:10 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 1, FC Schalke 04 1

Moneyline (ML)

Dortmund (-200) is a heavy favorite at home, but it might be a little sluggish as the Bundesliga fires back up after a two-month pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Dortmund sits second in the Bundesliga table, but Schalke 04 (+525) is its biggest rival. The Ruhr Derby will be missing fans, but that might actually work in Schalke’s favor. In addition, the home side is still banged up and has several key members unfit to feature. If you want to pick a side, Schalke is an amazing value and worth a small-unit bet. But the best bet is to go with a DRAW (+350), as both sides could be very slow to start.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on a draw will profit $35 if the game ends in a tie. A $10 bet on Dortmund win would profit just $5 if it wins, while a winning $10 bet on Schalke profits $52.50.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+125) is a good value here as well. If you want some added insurance, Under 3.5 (-209) is an even safer play, but it will cost you. Other bets which look good, taking YES (-134) for both teams to score. It might be a slow start, but each side should be able to find the back of the net in this Bundesliga return to action. It isn’t out of the question that both teams could really be sluggish, and neither score. It happens in “normal” times quite frequently, but both teams not to score (+900) isn’t a bad bet after a lengthy layoff. It’s more possible than usual.
