BETTING PREVIEW
Borussia Dortmund currently sit 2nd in the league after a tidy 3-0 win at home against Frankfurt. They are only a point ahead of Leverkusen, who play later in the day, so much keep the wins coming to stay ahead of them.
This may look a walkover for Dortmund based on that last win, and the fact they won the reverse 5-0 at home. The last 2 meetings have been won 5-0 and 2-0, but you'll notice the last 2 trips here have seen them only draw 1-1 and lose 1-0. Monchengladbach are going to give them a fight here.
There is of course the concern that Dortmund will be distracted with the Champions League. They drew 2-2 at Donestsk but before that tie were so distracted they had a man sent off at home and lost to Hamburg 4-1!! They won't lose like that here, but you have to wonder where their heads will be before a massive game against Shakhtar.
Monchengladbach have won their last 3 home games, so won't roll over at all, especially since they will badly want revenge for that 5-0 loss, their heaviest defeat of the season. The worry is their defence, which has allowed 33 goals through 22 games, ruining the good work done by the offence, which has scored 31. That 33 goals is already more than they conceded last season, but then Dortmund don't exactly come here with a brilliant defence, as the 26 they have shipped is also already more than last season's total allowed.
THE BETTING VERDICT
And on that note, I think we have to respect the home side enough to get a goal in what is a massive revenge match against distracted opponents. Dortmund are not going to be blanked though, not with their talent, so...Both Teams To Score!
