Borussia Dortmund to finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga shortened from 2/9 to 1/10 with William Hill, as 12 bookmakers cut their odds in total.
The odds on Borussia Dortmund to finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga have been slashed from 2/9 to 1/10 with William Hill after Saturday's late win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Unibet still hold the best price on the board at 1/5, the longest odds anyone is offering on Dortmund.
In total, 12 bookmakers have cut their odds on Borussia Dortmund to finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga.
Substitute Maximilian Beier scored an 80th-minute winner against Eintracht Frankfurt, teed up by fellow replacement Jobe Bellingham.
Next up is Werder Bremen in the DFB-Pokal, followed by a trip to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund made Eintracht Frankfurt wait a long time for the sucker punch at Signal Iduna Park, but it landed. Niko Kovac turned to his bench and it paid off: Maximilian Beier curled home the winner in the 80th minute, set up by fellow substitute Jobe Bellingham. A 1-0 win is not pretty, but it was earned, and the back line led by Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini made sure the lead held by keeping a clean sheet. That sums up this Dortmund side right now. When the starting XI cannot find a way through, the replacements can, and that is the kind of bench impact any DStv Premiership coach would happily take.
The Frankfurt result was not a one-off either. It followed a 1-2 win away at Sabah FK, and Kovac has also signed a long-term contract extension this month, which kills off any noise about the dugout. Back-to-back wins, a settled coach and a bench that changes games: the bookmakers have reacted accordingly, and William Hill have now cut Dortmund to 1/10. That is a strong vote of confidence in a side that are grinding out results rather than blowing teams away, and in our view the move is fair.

Will Borussia Dortmund finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga?
Bayern Munich are the clear favourites at 1/100 with BetMGM UK, and having gone unbeaten through eight matches by late October, nobody is arguing with that price. The real interest sits behind them. Dortmund are second-shortest in the betting, Bayer Leverkusen are close behind, and RB Leipzig are the longest of the four sides at the top of the market, which tells you where the bookmakers see the pressure points. With Dortmund's best price shorter than both Leverkusen and Leipzig, the market has them a step ahead of their closest rivals, and the late show against Frankfurt only strengthened that position.
Bayern Munich – 1/100 with BetMGM UK, unbeaten through eight matches and barely priced at all.
Borussia Dortmund – 1/5 with Unibet, second-shortest after a run of back-to-back wins.
Bayer Leverkusen – 2/7 with William Hill, the nearest challengers to Dortmund in the betting.
RB Leipzig – 8/15 with Bet365, the longest of the leading group and the side with most to prove on these prices.

What do Borussia Dortmund need to finish in the top 4 of the German Bundesliga?
The short answer: keep doing what they did against Frankfurt. Tuesday's DFB-Pokal tie with Werder Bremen does not count towards the log, but it is another test of the squad depth that has driven this price move, and Kovac can rotate knowing Beier and Bellingham are ready to make a difference off the bench. Then comes the big one, Bayern away in the Bundesliga. A result there would turn a short price into an even shorter one, while a defeat would hardly derail Dortmund given the gap the market already sees between them and the chasing pack. Our take is straightforward: the move is justified by the results and the depth behind them, and if you want in, Unibet's 1/5 is the price to take rather than the shorter quotes elsewhere. It does not leave much margin for error, but on the evidence of the last week, this Dortmund side have the tools to stay in the mix.
