Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Dortmund and Köln fans may have some reason for celebration ahead as their clubs go head-to-head, with our prediction of both teams to score looking a much better pick than any bet on the full time result market. The two clubs are more than capable of finding the net, as is borne out by the stats and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding real separation between the sides, as striking power and defensive options suggest each team is capable of both scoring and conceding. Both teams to score is our top tip.
