A second Der Klassiker in just a month and a meeting of two Bundesliga mid-table outfits certainly make a can’t-miss live betting spectacle in the German Cup.
Dortmund will eye to turn around the betting odds and get their revenge on their arch rivals, while Gladbach and Frankfurt will look to settle their unfinished business in the top flight and determine who the better team is.
DFB-Pokal Semi-Finals
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt
These two teams have already met twice in the top flight and interestingly, both of those fixtures ended in a goalless stalemate. Hence, it’s not far-fetched that this game will lead to a shootout after time.
However, I doubt that will be the end result as goals are likely to come, especially that both Gladbach and Frankfurt have conceded a combined 17 goals during their last four Bundesliga outings.
Gladbach have the advantage playing at home though, and it will give them some confidence knowing that the Eagles have already lost six straight away matches. Not to mention that Captain Lars Stindl seems to be in fine form after going on target in three appearances this month.
If you’re punting, Gladbach on Asian Handicap -0.50 @ 1.98 is worth considering.
Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund
A 4-1 defeat early this month undoubtedly put a mental scar on Dortmund; nonetheless, they will have a chance to make that result a distant memory as they visit the defending DFB-Pokal champions who are looking more vulnerable than ever with No.1 keeper Manuel Neuer out (for the season) and full-back David Alaba doubtful.
Winless in four in all competitions, the Bavarians’ abysmal run was highlighted in their 2-2 draw against Mainz. More surprising is the fact that they were the ones who fought back (twice!) just to get a share of the spoils.
Sure enough, Dortmund have been pretty inconsistent as well, but they have won two straight league games now, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang showing that he can score for BVB when it matters most.
With that said, picking Dortmund on Asian Handicap +1.00 @ 1.87 isn’t bad at all.
