Best Tip: Dortmund to win

The odds and our pre-match statistics below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we factor into our predictive algorithms.

Goal Statistics

Borussia Dortmund's forwards have been excellent of late, finding the net twice or more in 3 consecutive Bundesliga outings. A PG of 2.4 suggests that run should continue on Saturday evening.

Borussia Dortmund's defensive record is very strong, N. Kovač's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Bundesliga games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for FC Koln makes sense in this context.
