For those who love to see Dormund win the Bundesliga tittle, they must be very worried now because their recent form is very bad. Although Dortmund are still dominating at the top of the Bundesliga, the current gap with their opponents Bayern Munich is now only 3 points. Welcoming Leverkusen on Signal Iduna Park at home, and all they need do today is just to win the 3 points, if they don't want to play catch up with Bayern Munich as well as widen the gap with the pursuing team. Contrary to the image of Dortmund, Leverkusen is having a very beautiful time. They jumped a circuit to No. 5 on the chart with a record of winning the last 4 matches. Therefore it is not easy for Dortmund to win the game against Leverkusen if they continue to play a disappointing football.
DORTMUND
The host Dortmund are yet to record a single win in their last three matches in the Bundesliga and the poor defeat against Tottenham in the Champions League is making the team morale worse. This is an alarm for Coach Lucien Favre because if he does not find any solution, then the team will probably lose both the Bundesliga and the Uefa Champions League.this season. With no way back, the Ruhr team will have to play to their fullest potential if they want to defeat Leverkusen at the present time. Not only that, they are in desperate need of a victory to revitalize the spirit that has been raging for the past time. This Signal Iduna Park home ground will continue to be the fulcrum for the team when the last 3 visits to Leverkusen, Dortmund did not let the guests take away any win.
BAYER LEVERKUSEN
The visitors Leverkusen are currently playing so well in the Bundesliga, and if they continue playing with the current destructive style, even Dortmund will not be able to stop Leverkusen. The Leverkusen manager Peter Bosz is playing a very eye-catching football and makes the fans feel extremely satisfied. The current 5th place is totally worth what the team has shown recently, the gap with the top 4 is still quite far away which is just less than 5 points adrift Leipzig, but if they can beat Dortmund in this match, then surely the top teams will be very wary of the new Leverkusen and they will definitely view the team with a completely different eye. The visitors are going to have to play their best football if they are to get any positive results at the Signal Iduna Park, because 10 times of recent competition with Dortmund, Leverkusen had only 2 wins, the rest were draws and losses. The host is very strong now, but they are having problems with their drop points and a series of bad results. Having every opportunity to get along with it is to take advantage of loopholes and the loose of enemy crafts, Leverkusen can think of leaving with at least 1 point in this match.
PRE-MATCH FACT
- Borussia Dortmund have scored at least 2 goals in their last 11 home matches in Bundesliga.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 13 of Borussia Dortmund's last 14 home games Bundesliga.
- Leverkusen have won 6 of their last 7 matches Bundesliga.
- Leverkusen have been winning at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 matches in Bundesliga.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Leverkusen's last 7 away games Bundesliga.
PREDICTION
I believe this tie is going to produce a goal galores probably 3-4 goals. Dortmund at the moment is in first position but they have 3 draws in a row.They are little motivated for this match because away team in last 4 matches has won 4 times and they are likely to win here. The host Dortmund will be avoiding another embarrassing result, so they will be fighting here to get the 3 points just to stay at the top of the league rankings. They are currently level on the same points with Bayern Munich who are in the second position and just 5 points above their opponent Leverkusen. Both team have a good striker and i think we will probably get the goals from first half itself.
