Borussia Dortmund finished 2nd and 18 points above 3rd place Bayer Leverkusen in last years Bundesliga – champions Bayern Munich were 10 points clear at the top at competition’s end. Dortmund’s last competitive fixture was a chance at redemption in the DFB Pokal (German Cup) final against Bayern Munich, but disappointing Dortmund were defeated on penalties after playing out a 0-0 after 90 mins and extra time. Since then, Dortmund have played and won 3 pre-season friendlies and said goodbye to star midfielders Henrikh Mkhitaryan (11 goals in 28 appearances), who left to join Manchester United on a 4-year contract, and Gundogan, who joined Manchester City.
Borussia Dortmund have been starting strong lineups in their friendlies and bringing on many weaker and less experienced players at half time to benefit all parties. Star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (25 goals in 31 appearances) scored 2 goals within 18 minutes against St. Pauli last Thursday but after 11 half time substitutions a weaker, less experienced Borussia Dortmund side proceeded to concede 2 goals before clinching a late 3-2 winner. Against a weaker side like TSV 1860 Munich, however, Dortmund should be able to hold a bigger lead. Combining this analysis with the statistics below, we expect Borussia Dortmund -1.5 Asian Handicap at 2.075 to be the safe bet in this match and Borussia Dortmund to win 3-1 at 12/1 to be a top value correct score bet.
