Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

BVB Match Odds Suggest Victory

The Borussia Dortmund betting odds are -130 which means that they’re favourites to land victory in this Champions League encounter. It’s also suggested by the bookies that this team have a 56% chance of winning. The market implies that Villarreal are the most unlikely to win at +325.

Backing Dortmund -0.75 at -108 on the Asian Handicap line means they need to win by two goals or more against Villarreal for a full payout. A one-goal success would see you get paid out on the -0.5 part and money back on the -1.0 part.

If you’re looking to bet on more than two goals, then Over 2.5 has the lowest price. BTTS wagering is popular and you can back Yes at -217 on the Both Teams to Score market.

Hundreds of markets are now a guarantee for each of the Champions League matches, with the recommended football betting sites making sure that customers have quality options.
