👉 Our prediction is: Borussia Dortmund to win the 1st half

Borussia Dortmund is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Rot-Weiss Essen a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Borussia Dortmund to win the first half.

Rot-Weiss Essen vs Borussia Dortmund has all the makings of a high-scoring affair, and we anticipate this game going over 2.5 goals.

Online bookmakers have given good 1.39 odds for over 2.5 goals, and we fancy the chances of that bet paying off thanks to the tremendous attacking ability of the two teams.
