Niko Kovac&rsquo;s men head into their first competitive outing of the new season after a solid pre-season and a run at the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, their lower-league hosts have already played two games in 3. Bundesliga.<\/p><p>Rot-Weiss Essen come into the contest unbeaten in their opening league fixtures, drawing both matches. Uwe Koschinat&rsquo;s side are strong at home, with 11 unbeaten outings at Stadion an der Hafenstrasse. However, defensive lapses continue to be a concern. They have conceded in each of their last six competitive games, a weakness that Dortmund&rsquo;s attack will look to exploit.<\/p><p>BVB finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season and arrive as clear favourites here. The visitors carry pedigree in this competition, having lifted the trophy in 2021, though they have struggled to progress beyond the latter stages in recent campaigns. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let the games begin! &#128284;&#128588; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/97UWDmQGVb\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/97UWDmQGVb<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BlackYellow\/status\/1957144823896416531?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rot-Weiss Essen vs Borussia Dortmund Total Goals Over\/Under Odds&nbsp;<\/h2><p>Here are the top picks from the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;providing you with the Over\/Under Odds for Rot-Weiss Essen vs Borussia Dortmund:<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Total Goals Market<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Over Odds<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Under Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 0.5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-15000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+1800<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 1.5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-900<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+475<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 2.5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-275<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+185<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 3.5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-110<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-135<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 4.5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+200<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-300<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 5.5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+425<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-700<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 6.5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+850<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-2500<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>The Rot-Weiss Essen vs Borussia Dortmund clash has all the makings of a high-scoring contest and the odds reflect that expectation.

night for corner takers. In their pre-season outings, BVB consistently forced high corner counts, a pattern that reflects Niko Kovac&rsquo;s tactical approach of stretching the pitch with width. Against Rot-Weiss Essen, Dortmund will look to pin the hosts back and generate pressure through overloads out wide. That usually translates into blocked crosses, deflections, and repeated corner situations. <\/p><p>For Essen, the important task will be about disrupting Dortmund&rsquo;s play. Uwe Koschinat&rsquo;s men are disciplined in pressing and do not hesitate to break play with fouls when necessary. While that may frustrate Dortmund, it will also keep BVB pushing for openings. The underdogs are more likely to threaten through counters and dead-ball situations of their own. As a result, the overall flow of the game points towards corners stacking up for the Bundesliga side.<\/p><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Borussia Dortmund begin their push for a sixth DFB-Pokal crown with a tricky first-round tie away at Rot-Weiss Essen on Monday.
