Fixture: Man Utd vs Borussia Dortmund

Man Utd kick off their International Champions Cup campaign in what looks set to be a thrilling match against German giants Borussia Dortmund. The fixture is to be played in China where temperatures will be in excess of 31°C for the early afternoon kick-off.
Borussia Dortmund lost the latest of their friendly match as they prepare for the new Bundesliga season when they lost 1-0 to 1860 Munich at the weekend, Man United beat Wigan 2-0 in their first pre-season friendly of the summer.

Manchester United vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions
The bookies cannot split these two teams and it certainly looks set to be a close match. The best odds for Man Utd to win are 6/4 (bet365) and Paddy Power go 7/4 for Borussia Dortmund, the draw appeals at 13/5 with Bet Victor.
For my first Man Utd vs Borussia Dortmund prediction I am going to side with a narrow Manchester United win. Jose Mourinho will want to carry on their form following the win against Wigan and get some momentum against better sides ahead of the new Premier League season. Dortmund have already played four friendlies and although that could work in their favour, I think Mourinho will start with a strong team in China. He has already confirmed that Phil Jones and Eric Bally will start in a strong central defence. It's tough to pick a correct score for this one so let's stick with a bet on Man Utd to win using one of the enhanced odds offers available.

I do expect goals in this match and the heat and humidity could play it’s part in this with tiring defences getting over-ran. Despite tipping a Man United win I want to have a few quid on a Dortmund player to get on the scoresheet and that man is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. I am certainly tempted by a first goalscorer bet on the striker at 9/2 with bet365 but a safer bet is anytime goalscorer.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 2015/16:
| Competition | Appearances | Goals |
|---|---|---|
| Bundesliga | 31 | 25 |
| DFK Pokal | 4 | 3 |
| Europa League | 14 | 11 |
The best odds for him to score anytime against United are 7/5 at Coral and judging by his stats from last season, that looks a great bet if he is in the Dortmund starting line-up.
