Borussia Dortmund v Nuremberg7.30pm

The Bundesliga season started with a fine 4-1 win over Leipzig but since then it has been mainly a grind for Borussia Dortmund, who have tightened up defensively without finding fluency in the attacking department.

Nuremberg, with only one defeat since gaining promotion, have seen all four matches go under 2.5 goals which suggests they can be solid enough to keep the score respectable in Dortmund.

Recommendation
Borussia Dortmund to win & under 3.5 goals
1pt 5-4 Betway, Coral, Ladbrokes

Key stat
Nuremberg's four Bundesliga matches this season have produced a total of just seven goals.
