Benteler-Arena Paderborn, Germany.
Sunday 31st May.
Kick-off: 17:00 (BST).
Bundesliga.
TV: BT Sport 1 (UK).
Two teams at opposite ends of the table battle it out as Paderborn play host to Borussia Dortmund at the Benteler-Arena.
Hanging on
Paderborn are languishing at the bottom of the table, and they are hanging on to their Bundesliga status by a thread. They have managed three draws since the return; however, draws are not enough right now, and they need at least five wins from their remaining games, or they are down. Paderborn are at 7/1 to get their first-ever victory against Dortmund.
Out of the title race?
Dortmund looked good in the first two matches since the return of the Bundesliga, but they suffered a devastating 0-1 loss to Bayern Munich on Tuesday which all but ended their hopes of claiming a first Bundesliga title since 2012. Bayern would need to have a dramatic collapse to be caught from this position. Dortmund just have to focus on winning and hope that Bayern Munich will slip up, but also not to get too complacent as they’re still only 4 points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen in 5th place. Dortmund will enter this match as heavy favourites against Paderborn, and they are currently at 7/20 to win.
Match preview
The previous match saw one of the shocks of the season as it ended up as a 3-3 draw. Paderborn were 0-3 up until Dortmund’s second-half comeback. Streli Mamba scored two goals for Paderborn in that match, and you can back him at 10/3 to score again. Paderborn counter-attacked Dortmund superbly at the Westfalenstadion and were unlucky not to score more. They’ll be hoping to go one better here and grab an unlikely, but much-needed victory.
Injury news
Paderborn: n/a
Borussia Dortmund: Marco Reus, Erling Braut Håland (doubt) and Dan-Axel Zagadou.
Betting tip
Paderborn were able to create numerous goalscoring opportunities against Dortmund last time out, and they could grab at least one goal here. However, our tip is for Dortmund to prevail and for both teams to score at 29/20.
