Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Prediction: Borussia Dortmund win or Draw
We have strong confidence in Borussia Dortmund’s ability to leave Stadion An der Alten Försterei with at least a point, making them a smart pick on the Double Chance market.
Borussia Dortmund has consistently put in solid away performances, while Union Berlin’s form has been far from convincing. An outright win might be a big ask, but the added security in case of a draw makes this bet interesting.
👉 Prediction: Borussia Dortmund to Win the 1st Half
We see strong value in backing Borussia Dortmund to take a first-half lead in this matchup. They often start matches strong and are expected to do the same against Union Berlin.
The half-time odds present better betting value than the full-time result, making this an even more attractive bet.
