Why Borussia Dortmund is a good bet versus PSV Eindhoven

Dortmund struggled big time in the 2-3 loss to TSG Hoffenheim. But outside of that loss, the team has played well in their last 5. Victories over Wolfsburg, Union Berlin, and Freiburg came against three of the Bundesliga’s better squads. The draw against PSV Eindhoven on the road was stellar considering that Eindhoven is tough to beat at home. Dortmund should step it up on their pitch.

Final Betting Analysis: PSV vs Borussia Dortmund

The first match between Dortmund and Eindhoven was almost a wash. Eindhoven took 14 shots. Dortmund took 8. Eindhoven took 4 shots on goal. Dortmund took 5 shots on goal. The problem with backing either team is that these two are incredibly similar.

Ah, but Dortmund has a significant edge because this is on their pitch. If the best Eindhoven could do on their pitch was score a draw, the road team in this could be in some trouble. Dortmund will step it up at home. Give the Bundesliga squad the nod.
