Dortmund arrive at Bundesliga Round 3 in sharp form, winning four of their last five across all competitions and scoring 14 goals in that span. Paderborn, by contrast, have scored in just 3 of their last 5 outings and failed to find the net in both competitive league fixtures this season, losing to Freiburg and drawing 0-0 at Mainz. The class gap here is substantial, and Paderborn travel with four players unavailable through injury.
Dortmund have gone over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches and kept 2 clean sheets in that run. Paderborn have conceded in 3 of their last 5. The market prices Dortmund at 1.22 to win, which offers little. The AH -1.5 at 1.65 with bet365 is the angle worth taking.
A two-goal winning margin looks well within reach for Dortmund at home. Back them on the AH -1.5 at 1.65. Confidence is moderate given the small Bundesliga sample, but the directional case is clear.
