Dortmund vs Monaco Prediction & Betting tips
On Wednesday, 03.10.2018, Dortmund and Monaco will meet on the second matchday of the UEFA Champions League. The BVB started with a more than happy victory against Bruges (1: 0) in this year’s competition, while Monaco had to hand over the three points on the first matchday at home to Atletico Madrid (1: 2). After the 7-0 victory against Nuremberg and the 2: 4-catch-up against Leverkusen the black and yellow go full of confidence in this matchday. In the case of the Monegas, on the other hand, the word crisis is right at the top of the Gazette. But more on that later.
Dortmund:
BVB are leaders in the Bundesliga. After Bayern failed to win twice in a row, they took their chance to pass the record champions. Finally, a 4-2 win in Leverkusen and a 7-0 home win against the promoted from Nuremberg. Dortmund are unbeaten in nine competitive matches this season. All three home games were won. 4: 1 against Leipzig, 3: 1 against Frankfurt and 7: 0 against Nuremberg were the results. So they stand with a gate balance of 19: 5 and 14 points in first place. In addition, they share the best defensive statistics with the Munich and are ranked one of the category of the most scored goals.
The great success of Dortmund not least thanks to two men: Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer. Reus has been involved in six games already at eight goals. Alcacer scored three goals in 50 minutes. Both players are fit against Monaco. In addition, if Laarsen and Pulisic can reasonably hold their potential, a Dortmund home win should not stand in the way. The only thing that should stand in the way of a tip on the BVB is the direct comparison. So they met for the last time in April of last year. As part of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League Monaco won both games, 3: 2 in Dortmund and 3: 1 in Monaco. But you can not forget two things. For one thing, the first leg was overshadowed by the bombing of BVB’s team bus. The next day hardly a player could concentrate on the football.
And secondly, the matchmakers of that time have long since left Monaco. Lemar has moved to Atletico Madrid and Mbappe to league rivals Paris Saint-Germain. The scorers from the second leg are no longer all at home in Monaco. Mendy plays for Manchester City and Germain has moved to Marseile. For these reasons you can not compare this year’s game with 2017’s. The balance of the last eight competitive games in the Signal Iduna Park is from the perspective of BVB seasonally seven victories and a defeat. That Dortmund against Monaco for betting on the win with significant differences between the betting odds of the teams is favored, therefore, under no circumstances.
Monaco:
Monaco is in a tremendous crisis. Having reached a Champions League place with 80 points last season, they are currently in 18th place in French Ligue 1. The last victory dates from the first matchday against Nantes. After this 3: 1 success, it went downhill steeply. In the following eight competitive games, it hailed five defeats and three draws. After the opening game success in Nantes, the Monegas took only one away point in Toulouse. In the home Stade Louis-II it is even worse ordered to “Les Rouges et Blancs”. Here they got only two points with a negative goal ratio of 3: 5.
Only on Falcao is currently still reliable. In seven games, he scored five points scorer. Three goals and two assists arrive to the Colombian. One of the reasons for the failure is certainly the fierce transfer carousel. Nearly ten important players gave the Monegassen before the season. Just as many were newly committed. Thus, an almost completely new team is on the field, which has not quite found. There is still a lot of work ahead of Leonardo Jardim, provided he gets it.
