After delivering back-to-back winners in midweek, SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt's clash with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Friday night.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund (19:30)
The Bundesliga returns on Friday night with an intriguing-looking fixture as Eintracht Frankfurt face Borussia Dortmund at Deutsche Bank Park.
The hosts signed off for the winter break sitting in 7th place following a 1-1 draw away at Hamburg.
As for Borussia Dortmund, they are in second spot after claiming a 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach last time out.
3 or More Corners for Each Team
For the first half of what is a pre-built double on PaddyPower, I’m more than happy to back both teams to earn a minimum of 3 corners. Both of these sides have proven to be relatively reliable operators on the team corners front this season.
Frankfurt, who are well renowned for being an attack-minded outfit under Dino Toppmoller, have averaged 4.87 corners per game in the Bundesliga this season, with that figure rising to 5.29 when playing in front of their own supporters.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund have posted an average of 5.20 corners per game across their opening 15 Bundesliga matches of the season.
The case is further strengthened by the fact that the duo are conceding an average of north of 3.00 flag kicks per 90 in the German top flight this term.
1 or More Cards for Each Team
With an action-packed encounter anticipated on Friday night, I’m keen to complete the double by including each team to collect a minimum of one card. While neither side are among the most ill-disciplined in the Bundesliga this season, they have both comfortably averaged above the required 1+ card threshold we need for this leg of the bet builder.
The Eagles have collected an average of 1.53 cards per game in the Bundesliga this season to date, while the Yellow-Blacks’ tally sits at 1.67.
It’s also worth noting that referee Daniel Schlager has produced an average of 3.33 cards per 90 when on Bundesliga duty this season, handing out a booking to both teams in four of the last six matches he has overseen.
Combined, the above combination provides good value at 4/5 with PaddyPower.
