2008-05-02 - Borussia Dortmund vs F.C Nurnberg

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

This match on Friday night sees the clash between Borussia Dortmund in 13th spot and Nurnberg occupying the third from the bottom spot. Even though Borussia Dortmund is much higher in the standings but they enter this match with just one win in their last eight games while their opponents Nurnberg will be eager to escape relegation as they are in the bottom three and are two points away from safety from Bielefeld in 15th spot.

Dortmund has not won in their last three games prior to their 2-1 win at home against Bayer Leverkusen. In fact that was their only win in their last eight matches and their only win at home in their previous four games! Dortmund were even beaten in their last home match going down to Hannover 1-3!

Dortmund does tend to draw a number of games particularly in their last 8 games. They have drawn four, lost three and won just once. In their last four home games they lost to Hannover 1-3, beat Leverkusen 2-1 and had draws with Karlsruher and Hertha Berlin both 1-1.

As for Nurnberg, they have lost just twice in their last eight games, however both were on their travels. But their recent form has been good as they have lost just once in their last four games when they went down 3-0 to Stuttgart. Prior to the defeat to Stuttgart they did beat Frankfurt away from home managing a 3-1 win. Their other two away games were defeats to Leverkusen 4-1 and also a defeat to Hannover 2-1.

However what matters most is their recent form and they have in their last four games managed 2 wins, a draw and a defeat. They will be eager not to lose here and a win here could take them out of the bottom three.

Therefore take Nurnberg and accept the 1/4 ball here.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
