Best Tip: Dortmund to win

A Bundesliga home win for Niko Kovač's Dortmund team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should have too much for their opponents. The odds from the bookmakers suggest so too, and when that happens you've got reason to feel confident. A Dortmund win is the bet we'd suggest, even if a tight match is possible.
