Premium Tips

Two Premium Tips stand out for Saturday’s trip to the capital.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Serhou Guirassy to score anytime10/11 (Sky Bet)Serhou Guirassy spearheads a Dortmund attack that has looked sharp all season and is among their leading scorers with two goals. The visitors arrive unbeaten and have won the last three meetings with Union without reply. Union Berlin, meanwhile, have the worst defensive record in the division, shipping 17 goals in five games, including seven at Bayern Munich. Against a back line that leaks so freely, Dortmund’s main striker should get opportunities. At 10/11 with Sky Bet, Guirassy looks the obvious route into the goals on Saturday.
Emmanuel Latte Lath to score anytime11/4 (Sky Bet)Emmanuel Latte Lath is one of the few Union Berlin players to have found the net this season, and the hosts have scored in both of their recent home games. Dortmund have generally been solid but were held to a 2-2 draw by Werder Bremen last time out, showing their defence can be got at. Union will have to chase the game and should carry a threat on the counter in front of their own supporters. At 11/4 with Sky Bet, Latte Lath is an appealing price to score in a game Union are likely to lose but contribute to.

How Union Berlin go into the game

Union Berlin sit 16th but will take heart from a 1-0 home win over Elversberg last time out, their first victory of the season. Before that, though, they were well beaten, losing 7-0 at Bayern Munich and 4-0 at Bayer Leverkusen.

Their defence has been the problem, conceding a division-worst 17 goals in five games. Going forward they rely on bits and pieces, with Tim Skarke and Emmanuel Latte Lath among the few to have found the net.

How Borussia Dortmund go into the game

Borussia Dortmund arrive second and unbeaten, with four wins and a draw from five. They were held 2-2 at home by Werder Bremen last time out but had won their previous four, including 3-2 at Hoffenheim and 1-0 at Stuttgart on the road.

Serhou Guirassy, Fabio Silva and Felix Nmecha have all chipped in with two goals apiece, giving Dortmund plenty of attacking options. They have also won the last three meetings with Union by an aggregate of 12-0.
