Dortmund vs PSV Predictions: Betting Tips and Odds

Our betting expert has prepared Dortmund vs PSV predictions for this UEFA Champions League clash on Wednesday, March 13th.

This round of 16 tie is on a knife edge, following a 1-1 draw in Eindhoven last week. This season has been inconsistent for Dortmund, while the visitors enjoy a 10-point cushion at the top of Eredivisie. Both will fancy their chances of securing progress to the next round from a tie which seems tough to call.

Dortmund vs PSV Predictions & Tips

  • Draw @ 3.85 with Bet9ja
  • Penalty in the match @ 2.91 with Bet9ja
  • Under 9.5 Corners @ 2.01 with Bet9ja
  • 1X & GG in Double Chance & Goal / No Goal @ 2.01 with Bet9ja
  • 2+ cards each team @ 1.80 with bet365
  • Johan Bakayoko over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 1.90 with bet365
  • Donyell Malen to score @ 3.60 with Bet9ja

These sides are tough to split and so a repeat of the first leg, a scoreline of 1-1, is the expected outcome.

Rivals too close to split

With no odds on favourite in the winner market, it is tough to side with either team when making predictions. Therefore, I think there is value in backing the draw in the second leg.

The first leg in Eindhoven ended all square and I can see this repeating in Germany. The hosts are in transition under Edin Terzić, who described their play as sloppy after the 1-1 draw in Holland. They have also drawn two of their three home ties in this competition this season.

Bet 1: Draw @ 3.85 with Bet9ja

Malen can be Black and Donyell-ows main man

Donyell Malen proved a domestic one-game suspension hadn’t blunted his razor-sharp form over the weekend. The 25-year-old scored the opening goal in Dortmund’s 2-1 victory over Werder Bremen.

This goal marked his fourth consecutive appearance in which the Netherlands international has scored as he continues to put together impressive stats in the Bundesliga. Although the former PSV attacker only has one goal in this season’s Champions League, it came in the first leg against his old club.

Bet 2: Donyell Malen to score @ 3.60 with Bet9ja

Back Bak to hit the target

In an impressive domestic campaign, there are a few PSV players who catch the eye, but none more so than Johan Bakayoko. The 20-year-old has lightning pace, is a direct runner with the ball and presses hard. What is even more important for this bet, he likes to cut inside and have a go at goal.

With his side’s dominance in the Eredivisie, I have only focussed on the Champions League stats. Seeing he only has one goal to his name may put you off. This might seem minimal, yet his effort is evident, having fired off 21 shots in his seven appearances so far. Eight of those have been on target, with at least one in six of those seven ties, including the head-to-head in Eindhoven.

Bet 3: Johan Bakayoko over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 1.90 with bet365

Cards to fly as tensions run high

For the last of my tips here, I am backing the close nature of the game to lead to several bookings with lots at stake. This is especially evident as we approach the final whistle.

The first leg seemed to be getting out of hand with three yellow cards in the opening 45 minutes, although none were shown after the interval. Daniele Orsato is the man in charge here, one of UEFA’s most experienced referees at the Champions League level. He will not tolerate any misconduct, such as time-wasting, etc. The Italian has shown 42 yellow cards and four red in his last eight appearances with no fewer than four cards in all of those fixtures.

Bet 4: 2+ cards each team @ 1.80 with bet365

The According reports that over 280 students of the school were kidnapped last Thursday at about 8 am, sparking national outrage.

According to a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Egbetokun sympathised with the people and the governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, while stating the dedication of the NPF to ensure the rescue of the abducted students, using both kinetic and non-kinetic approaches.

The statement read in part, “Following the distressing abduction of school students in Kaduna, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, along with the DIG in charge of the Force Intelligence Department, Habu Sani, DIG Department of Operations Ede Ayuba Ekpeji,, AIG Police Mobile Force Yekini Adio Ayokui, and other senior officers undertook a visit to the state to assess the situation firsthand.

“The IGP reiterated the dedication of the Nigeria Police Force to ensuring the safe rescue of all the abducted students assuring that both kinetic and non-kinetic approaches are being vigorously pursued to secure the release of the students and bring the perpetrators to justice.

“In a bid to bolster security efforts, the IGP also announced the immediate deployment of a fully armed and ready unit of mobile policemen to the Kuriga Community to enhance security in the affected area and facilitate swift action towards the rescue operation”.

Responding, the Kaduna State Governor promised the support of the state government for the deployed mobile police unit while calling on members of the media to ensure responsible journalism through the period of the crisis.

As part of his visit, the IGP also met with police officers at the Police Command and the Police College, Kaduna, and addressed their concerns while assuring them of the Force’s unwavering commitment to their welfare, “to bequeath to Nigerians a police institution that is service driven, professionally competent, people friendly and rule of law compliant for a more secure environment in Nigeria”.

Egbetokun also noted the critical nature of the task ahead of the Nigeria Police Force, which he said will be carried out assiduously to ensure the safety and security of all citizens.

“He urged the public to remain calm and cooperate with the Police and other relevant security agencies in the tireless duty towards a swift resolution of the present security challenges in our dear county”, the statement added.

Police kill one in terrorists hideout raid

Operatives of the Plateau State Police Command have raided a forest occupied by suspected terrorists in the neighbouring Bauchi State and killed one person in the process.

This came after suspected bandits attacked a market in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State, killing about seven persons and injuring others.

According to a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer in Plateau State Command, Alabo Alfred, on Tuesday, operatives were able to confront the gunmen at their hideout in Bauchi forest and killed one person and also recovered weapons while several others fled the scene.

The statement read, “Following the case of culpable homicide reported at Zurak Village of Wase LGA where four persons were gruesomely killed and six injured on 10/03/2024 by gunmen suspected to have come from Yakari Forest in Bauchi State, police operatives attached to Bashar Division of the command led by the DPO, CSP Atiku Yahaya, in collaboration with other security agencies and security help groups, immediately stormed the forest to dislodge the bandits.

“On sighting the security operatives, the suspects engaged them in a fierce gun battle and attempted to escape to nearby Taraba State.

“However, due to our superior firepower, one Usare Madanfa male of Achali Forest was neutralised while other gang members fled with serious gunshot wounds. One AK47 rifle was recovered from the suspect.

“The operation was successfully carried out by our men. No casualty was recorded on our side. Normalcy has since been restored to the affected areas while joint patrol and intelligence gathering are being intensified.

“On this note, Plateau State Commissioner of Police, CP Hassan S. Yabnet, FCID, reassures all Plateau residents of the Command’s commitment towards ensuring the peace and safety of all Plateau residents.”

NAFDAC shuts 10 bakeries, eight water factories in Rivers

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control said its officials shut 10 unregistered bakeries and eight table water factories in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The agency said the move was meant to rid the state of fake and unwholesome products, saying the shutdown was done during an operation which lasted three days with the assistance of policemen.

This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Tuesday by NAFDAC’s Public Relations Officer, South-South Zone, Mr Cyril Monye.

Monye disclosed that some of the factories operated in an unhygienic environment, in addition to carrying the names of popular brands in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

The statement read, “In an unprecedented move to rid Rivers State of fake and unwholesome products, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control stormed Bonny Island in Bonny Island, Local Government Area of Rivers State shutting down 10 substandard/unregistered bakeries and eight table water factories.

“A detachment of policemen from Finima and Bonny Divisional Headquarters provided assistance and security to NAFDAC officials during the three-day operation.”

Speaking during the operation, NAFDAC Director, South-South Zone, Chukwuma Oligbo, explained that the move became necessary following the agency’s painstaking investigations/surveillance and complaints by consumers from the Island concerning substandard bakeries and sachet/table water factories.

Oligbo stated, “It was discovered that some of the quack bakeries were producing in ramshackle facilities made with woods and rusty congregated iron sheets with inappropriate baking equipment while the workers were not properly kitted.

“The loaves of bread were stored in a very unhygienic manner with flies perching on them. Some of the bakeries also bear the names of popular breads in Port Harcourt.”

“Most of the bakeries were not registered by NAFDAC and unregistrable because they cannot meet the minimum requirement for registration, while few that were registered by the agency have expired licenses or have relocated from their initial place of registration in Port Harcourt to Bonny Island without notifying the agency for formal documentation and mandatory inspections.”

He further said some of the table water factories which were mostly involved in the production of sachet water were not using filtration equipment and a facility that was in production of bottled and jar water was manually filling the jars with a locally improvised machine instead of an automated process, which is the acceptable standard recommended by NAFDAC.

The Zonal Director urged those who are in default of their product license renewal to use the waiver provided by the Director General from January to March and renew their licenses, adding that NAFDAC is always ready to guide producers in doing the right thing.

He however said hard times await those who intentionally flouts NAFDAC regulations.

The three-day operation took NAFDAC to the length and breadth of Finima and Bonny, both in Bonny LGA, as Pharmacies and Supermarkets were also inspected where various violations were discovered ranging from unregistered products and unsafe storage of injections, the statement added.

Otti orders reconstruction of burnt Abia market

The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has ordered the reconstruction of the burnt Abia market located in Aba State.

The governor stressed how important it is that marketplaces in the state be constructed to allow for simple evacuation in the case of a fire.

Otti stated this on Tuesday when he paid an on-the-spot visit to a section of the Ehere Market, along Ikot Ekpene Road, Aba, occupied by timber dealers, which was gutted by fire Monday night.

He regretted that the way the Abia market was built, made it gullible to fire outbreaks and directed the Mayor of Obingwa LGA, Dr Eric Egwuibe, to immediately commence processes towards rebuilding the market.

He said, “What we will do is to assess the level of damage. We will also through the mayor, begin the process of rebuilding this place. I think the way the market is, makes it susceptible to fire incidents.

“We need to ensure there are fire extinguishers in all the shops around here. I am giving an instruction to the mayor to assess the level of damage and begin the process of rebuilding, bringing down all those ramshackle buildings, and building proper shops for all of you.

“We also want the shops to be properly built because. Even the way the entire place looks, it is not very decent and very inviting. So I would like you to trade in an environment that is conducive.”

The governor, who noted that upon getting information about the disaster, he quickly mobilised men of the homeland security and Fire service to put out the fire, thanked God that no life was lost in the inferno.

He assured that fire extinguishers will be procured and placed strategically in the market to enable traders to tackle such outbreaks in the future.

The governor said his vision is to ensure that traders operate in a conducive environment fit for trading and assured that the government will assess the level of damage to support them to replace their lost goods.

“The details of how it would be done would be worked out. One thing I can assure you is that if you do have a shop here, you will not lose your shop. We also know that this damage would have caused a lot of loss to the owners; by the time we do the assessment, we will see how we can support them,”  he said.

Otti also inspected an accident scene, on the same Ikot Ekpene Road, a short distance away from the market, towards the Aba Waterside, involving a trailer loaded with bags of cement.

The accident which happened Monday night, saw the trailer skidding off the main road and slamming into a business building. No life was lost in the accident as the driver of the trailer and his conductor were pulled out of the wrecked vehicle.

The Governor directed the Director General of the Greater Aba Development Authority (GADA), Arch Uche Ukeje, who accompanied him on the visits, to liaise with the police to ensure immediate evacuation of the damaged trailer.

Remi Tinubu commissions digital economy centre in Oyo

The Wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, on Tuesday, inaugurated a Digital Economy Centre and e-learning facilities donated by her to Ogbomoso Girls High School, Ogbomoso, in Oyo State.

Tinubu, who was represented by the wife of the state governor, Tamunominini Makinde, said Nigerians must recognise the role of technology in advancing gender equality by ensuring full participation of women in the digital revolution through access to technology.

She described the centre as a demonstration of the administration of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to ensuring equitable access to education across the country.

Tinubu said, “The Renewed Hope Initiative, in collaboration with National Information Technology Development Agency under the National Digital Gender Inclusion Strategy, will be extending support to equip more centres in the remaining states of the Federation.

“NITDA will expand opportunities for digital literacy and empowerment by building and equipping three ICT centres in other parts of the country this year, as we speak, one of the centres is currently being commissioned in Bauchi State.

“Technology has become a positive tool in our world, shaping everything through communication, and commerce, to education and healthcare, therefore, in the derivation of the digital economy, our women must not be left behind. Continuous training, access, and exposure to technology can open new opportunities providing greater access to employment and striving for business.

“Presently, we are witnessing remarkable progress in our women and girls in digital space, and is truly inspiring, as you strive towards building a more inclusive and equitable society. I, therefore, urge all beneficiaries to take full ownership and maximize advantage by these centres.”

Customs release 15 trucks of seized food items 

The Nigeria Customs Service, Sokoto/Zamfara Area Command, has released 15 seized trucks of grains in its command to the owners.

This development was announced in a statement on Tuesday by the Public Relations Officer of the command, Abdullahi Abubakar.

Abubakar said the development was in compliance with the Presidential directive.

Recall that President Tinubu, over the weekend directed the NCS to return all food items that were confiscated at border communities to owners on the condition that they would be sold in the Nigerian markets to boost food sufficiency.

However, the Customs Area Comptroller in charge of the command, Kamal Mohammed, while handing over the trucks of grain at the command’s headquarters in Sokoto, charged the traders to reciprocate President Bola Tinubu’s magnanimity by ensuring that the grains were sold to Nigerian markets.

Kamal added that the command, in collaboration with the Customs Intelligence Unit and the Joint Border Patrol Team, “would monitor the sales of these grains in Nigerian markets and ensure they were not smuggled out of the country.”

He further enlightened traders and the general public that grains are under the extant Export Prohibition list.

The Comptroller warned smugglers to desist from smuggling grains.

He added that the service has resolved to fight smuggling in all ramifications.

Kamal said that the command would make the borders unsafe heaven for smugglers, “unpatriotic elements penchant to make money at the detriment of the country.”

In response, the Secretary of the Grain Sellers Association of Sokoto, Dahiru Ladan, thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for tempering justice with mercy.

He assured the president that the union would ensure that the grains were sold to Nigerian markets.

Reps pass mining development bank bill for second reading

The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, passed for a second reading a bill seeking to establish the Nigerian Mining Development Bank to promote and enhance investment in the sector of the economy.

The proposed law titled “A bill for an act to establish the Nigerian Mining Development Bank, was sponsored by a member representing Idemili North/Idemili South Federal Constituency, Anambra State, Mr Uchenna Okonkwo.

Okonkwo, in his lead debate, said the establishment of a mining development bank would benefit the country immensely, as it will provide access to funding for mining and mining-related activities.

The lawmaker argued that “One of the primary challenges facing the mining sector in Nigeria is lack of access to finances for mining projects. The mining sector often involves high risks, including geological, operational, and market risks. A specialised bank can help mitigate these risks by providing financial instruments such as guarantees, insurance, and risk-sharing mechanisms.

“The bank can support the development of mining projects by providing funding for exploration, feasibility studies, infrastructure development and other critical stages of project development.”

Okonkwo further explained that the NMDB, if established, would also support capacity-building initiatives in the mining sector, promote local participation in the sector, and improve the revenue profile of the nation.

He said, “By promoting local participation in the mining sector, the bank can help enhance local content development, create employment opportunities, and foster economic empowerment in mining communities.

“The bank can play a crucial role in promoting environmentally and socially sustainable mining practices by providing funding for projects that adhere to best practices in environmental management, community engagement, and social responsibility.”
