Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As you can see, our prediction for Saturday's fixture is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Union Berlin and Dortmund to score 3 goals or more combined during the traditional 90 mins. 2 goals or fewer would mean it's a losing tip but, with stats below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think there's good reason to feel confident.
