Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund -1 Goal Handicap (+105)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Borussia Dortmund heads to Union Berlin, the momentum is firmly in Dortmund's favor. They’ve been on a stunning five-game winning streak, scoring an average of 2.2 goals while conceding just 0.4 per match. Their proficiency on the road has been impressive, and the team’s xG stats mirror their scoring prowess, consistently outpacing opponents in both chances created and converted. On the other hand, Union Berlin is struggling at home with a mere 1-1-3 record in their last five, allowing nearly 3.4 goals on average — a stat that does not bode well against a clinical side like Dortmund. With their recent form and head-to-head dominance, having won four of the last five encounters, backing Dortmund at -1 in the handicap market feels like a smart play. Expect them to not just win, but do so convincingly.
