Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Borussia Dortmund still remain top of the Bundesliga despite three draws on the trot with stalemates against Eintracht Frankfurt, Hoffenheim and Nurnberg, although in turn, these points have extended Borussia Dortmund’s unbeaten run to six matches and indeed, the hosts have suffered just one defeat in their last 22 matches in the German top flight.
Dortmund have enjoyed an impressive season so far in the Bundesliga and thoroughly deserve their place at the top of the domestic division, and so far, they’ve also kept Bayern Munich at arms length too as they head into this crucial Sunday afternoon encounter.
The hosts still remain unbeaten at home with an impressive record of 9-2-0 37/15 which includes winning five of their last six at their Signal-Iduna-Park with goals also flowing in front of their home faithful as Borussia Dortmund possess the highest goal tally at home in the division, and with the likes of in-form forward Alcacer (12 goals) up front, Dortmund will fancy their chances of taking all three points here. Reus has been ruled out through injury.
In addition, Dortmund have scored at least 2 goals in each of their 11 home matches so the Bayer Leverkusen defence may well find themselves under the hammer in this clash.
- Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in their last 6 matches in the Bundesliga
- Borussia Dortmund have lost just 1 of their last 22 matches
- Bayer Leverkusen have kept just 2 clean sheets away from home this term
Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen sit in 6th place and therefore occupy the last remaining Europa League qualifier spot ahead of their difficult looking trip to table toppers Dortmund this Sunday as the visitors look to contain their free-scoring hosts.
The visitors bring a four-match winning streak into this encounter though with victories chalked up against Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich, Mainz 05 and Fortuna Dusseldorf which will give them reason to be confident of getting something against Dortmund today.
Bayer Leverkusen have also won their last three on the trot away from home too amidst an overall record of 5-2-4 21/16 with wins at Schalke 04, Wolfsburg and Mainz 05, but with just two clean sheets on their travels so far this season, this could be an important factor in deciding the outcome of this clash as Dortmund have been absolutely rampant on home turf this term
Betting Tips Verdict
Dortmund have been very impressive at home this season and they should outscore their opponents, Bayer Leverkusen, in this important clash to maintain their position at the top of the Bundesliga.
