Quotes as of September 24 at DraftKings
Although the teams are quite close, the game is not part of a major regional rivalry. It is, however, one of the most important dates on the German football calendar due to the historical stature of both clubs.
Dortmund, moreover, also have a new coach with Marco Rose having left Mönchengladbach this summer after narrowly missing out on European qualifying with an eighth place last season.
Plus, it’s been a good start for Rose with Dortmund winning four of their first five games – and currently enjoying a three-game winning streak.
Haaland has 11 goals for Dortmund
The coveted Norwegian forward Erling Haaland has been in particularly excellent form for Dortmund.
He has already scored 11 goals this season; eight in the Bundesliga, including two in last weekend’s 4-2 home win over Union Berlin.
He also collected four assists in the Bundesliga.
Therefore, DraftKings punters make Dortmund a big favorite for an away win at -135.
Mönchengladbach, meanwhile, is rated as a broad underdog at +320, with a draw at +340.
The game at Borussia-Park kicks off at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Moreover, Dortmund underlined their good form with a fine opening victory in the Champions League 2-1 away against Besiktas of Istanbul.
The new trainer Rose certainly has his side that pulls on all cylinders.

He has scored no less than 17 goals in five matches so far, with star winger Jadon Sancho’s summer loss to Manchester United having no effect on Dortmund’s attacking prowess.

Drama on both ends for visitors
However, he conceded 11 goals at the same time. So these are dramatic moments on both sides for the fans of the team.
Indeed, there have been an average of 5.6 goals per game in his five league games so far.
This makes it especially worth looking for value beyond Moneyline prices.
And there’s an unmistakably attractive prop offering at DraftKings of +360 for Dortmund to win by two goals – with Haaland surely in the mood to plunder more.
It looks even more promising given that Mönchengladbach has yet to keep a clean sheet this season.
Hutter’s side have only scored five goals so far, nine of which have been conceded.
After Dortmund opened the season with a 5-2 hammering from Eintracht Frankfurt at home, there was then a 2-1 defeat for Freiburg.
The three-game winning streak then began with a 3-2 home win over Hoffenheim.
Following that, there was an exciting 4-3 win at Bayer Leverkusen and then, last weekend, a 4-2 home win over Union Berlin.

In addition, there was a 1-0 victory for Dortmund at Mönchengladbach in the last DFB Pokal Cup meeting in March.
Meanwhile, Mönchengladbach will look to German midfielder Lars Stindl for inspiration after contributing two of his five Bundesliga goals so far.
In conclusion, however, Dortmund’s form and striker Haaland’s hungry mood promise a comfortable win for the visitors here, most likely by two goals.
Pick: Borussia Dortmund – Win by two goals (+360)
