1860 Munich vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions

• Dortmund progressed from every first round DFB Pokal fixture since 2005.
• Over half of Dortmund’s league games last season produced over 3.5 goals.
• 1860 Munich opened their campaign with a stunning 4-3 victory.

Go for many goals in Munich

After opening their season with a 4-3 win over Dresden, third-tier 1860 Munich have a mammoth challenge ahead of them in their first round DFB Pokal encounter as they welcome last season’s second-placed Bundesliga finishers, Borussia Dortmund.

The hosts may not instil the same fear in Dortmund as a match against their neighbours, but a return of ten scored goals across their last two competitive games – six of which were against Dortmund’s second team – may well suggest that they can break Dortmund down at least once.

Dortmund are destined to progress

No side’s Bundesliga games during 2021/22 produced a higher average goals return than Dortmund’s 4.0. Such a high return of goals contributed to the fact that over half (56%) of their league games produced at least four goals in the game.

With the level of opposition much lower in this curtain-raising cup game, we expect that Dortmund will rack the goals up with ease as they look to progress to the second round of the competition.

The price on over 3.5 goals in this clash is attractive enough for us to lump a three-star stake on it, with a smaller amount going the way of a dominant 4-1 Dortmund win.
