Tip and bets

1.69Handicap (-1) on Borussia

Mainz significantly improved during last few months - their nine-game unbeaten run is the best proof. But today Borussia can put an end to this streak - Dortmund team is in a desperate need of win and will do anything to pick up three points. Bumblebees are on a great form right now and they should be able to secure a victory by comfortable margin.

In our opinion, hosts have no chance. Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Borussia

Do you agree with this bet?

1.63total over three goals

Borussia is looking great on offense and Bumblebees will surely try to get advantage of it - Mainz is not perfect on the defensive end and level of Mainz players is nowhere near to Borussia. But Carnival club also scores many goals, so it won't be a surprise if we see a consolation goal.

Our second bet will be on total over three goals
