Dusseldorf have been quite hard to beat this season, and even more so lately, having lost just one of their five matches since the restart. They will now have a tough task coming their way, as they will play host to Dortmund on Sunday. Dortmund are coming off a slim win over Hertha Berlin last week and will come here looking to keep whatever title dreams they might have alive.

Dusseldorf (6-14-10) took an early lead at home against Hoffenheim last week, and even though several things went their way in that match, they needed a late penalty kick in order to settle for a 2-2 draw. They have now lost just once in their last nine matches in all competitions (2-1-6), only failing to score twice in that span. Dusseldorf are sitting at the 16th spot of the league table with 28 points, just three below the relegation zone. They have been mediocre at home so far (4-6-5), but they have lost only to Gladbach in their last six home matches (1-1-4).

Dortmund (19-5-6) are coming off a mediocre match at home against Hertha Berlin, where they scored the only goal at the 58th minute to secure a slim 0-1 home win. They have now won four of their five matches after the restart, losing only to Bayern Munich. Dortmund are sitting 2nd in the league table with 63 points, four ahead of RB Leipzig and seven behind Bayern Munich. They could have been better on the road (8-4-3), but lately they won four of their last five away league matches. There were at least three goals in 12 of their 15 away league matches this season.

Dortmund destroyed Dusseldorf by 0-5 at home earlier in the season, but they actually lost in this venue last season by 1-2. Matches in this venue have been pretty balanced between the two over the years (2-2-4) and this is a venue that Dortmund don’t have a lot of success at. Going with Dusseldorf to cover a +1.5 goal spread here.
