This could well be one of those encounters where Alemannia Aachen do just enough to get the result and they're certain to be asked some questions by this Dortmund II outfit.

They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 4 games and regardless of the actual line up they will be facing, that probably won't be enough for this test.

Alemannia Aachen have been victorious in 11 of their last 15 away matches. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 16 away matches. The visitors will be motivated. Most of these recent wins have been helped by their confidence in the final third. They've scored at least once in all of their last 20 games and if they build on that stat they'll be in for goals here.

Ultimately, no one can be certain about what's in store. Few could argue with the notion that both sides can get in on the act as they could be well matched. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable this time around.
