After getting the job done in the UEFA Champions League during the week, it's back down to business in the Bundesliga for Dortmund on Saturday, when they'll take on a newly promoted Paderborn side. The hosts are looking for five wins on the bounce in all competitions, while the visitors go in search of their first league win of the campaign.
Those looking to get involved in the betting ahead of the action at Signal Iduna Park should consider 'Both Teams to Score'. The visitors are yet to score in the league this season, but they've had longer to rest and prepare ahead of this game, while their efforts last weekend suggest that they could easily do some counter-offensive damage against a Dortmund team that has looked rather open at the back. At the other end, the hosts should have more than enough quality to score goals here, leaving odds of -125 to look a little too lenient.

Our Borussia Dortmund vs Paderborn Prediction
As mentioned above, 'Both Teams to Score' looks rather generously priced at odds of -125, which are available at the time of writing. Clearly, against newly promoted opponents, the hosts have a sizable chance to do some serious damage, but can they be trusted to keep it tight at the back? They've not had long to prepare for this, while they've looked a little out of defensive shape in each of their last two games. With the visitors looking threatening on the break last weekend, at least one goal being scored at either end looks a little more likely than the early odds indicate.
