THE PREDICTION
Borussia Dortmund battled to a 2-1 win at Werder Bremen in their first match under interim boss Edin Terzic in midweek. It was actually results at home that largely cost Lucien Favre his job, as BVB have won four of their last five away league matches. Union Berlin have taken an early lead in each of their last four games but only have three points to show for it, conceding two late goals in their draw with Stuttgart on Tuesday. They have actually scored the first goal in nine of their 12 Bundesliga games this term, while Dortmund have fallen behind in four of their last five, so backing the Berliners in the Team to Score First market could be a good choice.
