Soccer Betting Preview for the DFB-Pokal Semi-Finals Matches
2021 German DFB Pokal Semi-Finals
- When: Friday, April 30 – Saturday, May 1
RB Leipzig -1 ½ (-103) Vs Werder Bremen +1 ½ (-128)
- When: Friday, April 30
Werder’s form is in shambles. The home underdog in this has lost four straight. Most of the losses were downright embarrassing.
Leipzig dominated Werder 4-1 on April 10. On April 18, Dortmund blasted Werder Bremen by the same score, 4-1. Then on April 24, Werder fell by a 3-1 score to Union Berlin. Even the 1-0 loss to Mainz on April 21 was bad.
Leipzig isn’t in great form. The road favorite has won 2-of-5 with a couple of losses and a draw. But RB heads into this after beating Stuttgart 2-0 on April 25. Not only that but, going back to 2019, Leipzig has won 4 straight against Werder Bremen.
The favorite won all 4 by 2 or more goals. The road chalk gets the nod.
Soccer Pick: RB Leipzig
Holstein Kiel +1 ½ (+122) Vs Borussia Dortmund -1 ½ (-169)
- When: Saturday, May 1
German 2 Bundesliga squad Holstein Kiel is up against it big time versus Erling Haaland, Mats Hummels, and the rest of Dortmund’s squad. Holstein hasn’t even won matches in the German 2 League. Kiel has won a single match in their last five, beating VfL Osnabruck 3-1.
Dortmund has gone 4-1 straight up in their last five. The lone loss happened against Manchester City in a Champions League match. Since the loss, Dortmund has dominated with a 4-1 victory over fellow German DFB Pokal semifinalist Werder Bremen, a 2-0 win against Union Berlin, and a 2-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg.
Dortmund is on fire. Holstein doesn’t have a single player who can match Haaland’s and Hummels’ brilliance. Borussia should roll. Dortmund wins by as many goals as they please.
Soccer Pick: Dortmund
