It was nice to get back to winning ways tonight as my recommended Bet Builder sailed in before half time, and I'm heading back to Germany on Wednesday night.
Borussia Dortmund vs Lazio (Wednesday, 20:00)
Borussia Dortmund will be on a revenge mission when Lazio come calling on Matchday five of the Champions League.
Lucien Favre's vibrant young side crashed to a 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture, however, the German giants are still in the driving seat to reach the knockout rounds.
A point would be enough to seal BVB's place in the last 16 but Lazio are breathing down their neck as both teams battle it out for top spot in Group F.
Both sides suffered shock domestic setbacks last weekend so I'm going to steer clear of the outright betting here and head to the Bet 365 Builder market.
If we combine over one match goal, each team to receive at least one card and over five match corners we can get 20/23 (Bet 365) shot, and that betting angle makes appeal.
Each of Dortmund's last nine fixtures across all competitions have produced two or more goals and their last five outings have featured three or more strikes.
Lazio, meanwhile, have seen both teams oblige in all four of their Champions League group games this season and another action-packed encounter is anticipated at Signal Iduna Park.
What's more, card-happy referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz will take charge of this clash and it's worth mentioning that the Spanish official has shown five, six and seven cards across his last three Champions League assignments.
I'm also happy to support over five match corners in this contest given that both sides are averaging over five corners per game this season.
It's also worth noting that the above-mentioned combination has clicked in all four of Lazio's Group F fixtures to date and that only adds to the appeal of siding with a repeat on Wednesday night.
