Dortmund vs Slavia Prague Live Stats & Betting Odds
Dortmund Prediction – Can Dortmund pip Inter Milan at the post?
It’s a straight foot-race between Tuesday night’s hosts, Borussia Dortmund and Italian side Inter Milan for the coveted top two place in Group F and to join Barcelona into the knockout rounds of the Champions League, while the losing side will participate in the Europa League.
Both Dortmund and Inter are on 7 points apiece, but although Dortmund’s recent results in this competition have also produced mixed returns, their form in the Bundesliga has picked up in recent times as the hosts have registered back-to-back wins over Hertha Berlin and Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga – the latter by a 5-0 margin.
Dortmund will therefore be hoping this recent upturn in fortunes on the domestic front will transfer to this final match in Group F where they play host to bottom club, Slavia Prague, who have nothing to play for.
The hosts still remain unbeaten at home during this Champions League campaign which includes a worthy 0-0 draw with Barcelona and a 3-2 win against Inter Milan, bot of which were fantastic results for the Bundesliga outfit.
Slavia Prague Prediction – Can Slavia Prague save their best for last?
Having gained just 2 points from their first 5 matches of this Champions League group campaign in Group F, all three points for Slavia Prague on Tuesday night in Germany would seem highly unlikely as they’ve struggled throughout the group matches to date.
Slavia Prague’s only highlights have been a point away from home against Inter Milan in a 1-1 draw and their recent 0-0 stalemate away at group leaders, Barcelona, but otherwise it’s been a disappointing period for the Czech Republic outfit as they bow out of the competition after this final group match.
With just 1 away win out of their last 11 matches on their travels at this level, Slavia Prague are expected to struggle once again on Tuesday night in Dortmund, especially as 5 of their 6 defeats within these 11 matches were by 2+ goal margins along with already having lost 2-0 at home to tonight’s opponents, Dortmund, earlier in the group.
Key-Facts – Dortmund vs Slavia Prague
- Dortmund have lost just 1 of their last 6 home ties in the CL
- Slavia Prague have won just 1 of their last 11 CL ties away from home
- Dortmund recorded a 2-0 win away from home at Slavia Prague in the last meeting
Betting Tips Verdict
Dortmund with home advantage should record a comfortable win here with the hosts also possibly covering the -1.25 asian line too.
