About The Match
Dortmund arrive as the clear market favourite, priced at 59% to win, and the underlying numbers support that read. Union Berlin's season has been poor, with just 4 points from 5 matches and a -12 goal difference, while Dortmund sit 2nd with 13 points and a +7 difference. The key uncertainty is whether Union Berlin's thin home sample, which shows 1.7 goals scored per match across 3 home matches, can hold up against a Dortmund side that has conceded only 4 goals all season.
