Lawro's prediction: 2-0Bobby's prediction: If I had gone off my analysis I would have put 1-1, but there are occasions like this one you have to slightly ignore overall stats because of exceptional circumstances that overrule the data.

I see here very easy at least four and maybe even more than four goals, really. So, Borussia Dortmund is team who is favorite, that is clear and they are team who is lost last two matches, 3-4 in fantastic duel against Bayer Leverkusen and also, in great duel, in Cup, they are lost against Werder, in Bremen, 2-3. Of course, this team is much better at home, but it will not be easy. Eintracht Frankfurt is beat in last round Augsburg 5-0 at home, and before that duel, 3-1 Red Bull Leipzig 3-1 in cup. Over is ok here.
