Bayer has started badly and they were defeated in the first three rounds, but they got over the crisis and they celebrated in the last two games. Borussia has not yet been defeated this season, but they have played draws in both of their championship matches and they are only winning on their field. Last season's duel of these rivals in Leverkusen ended with a score of 1-1, while Borussia mastered Bayer with 4-0 and in Dortmund.
The effect of “Pharmacists” at the beginning of the season is three and three. They first lost three times, of which they were defeated once at home from Wolfsburg, and it was after they took the lead in Munich against Bayern, and they also celebrated with 3-1 in the end. They lost with 2-0 in the first round in M'gladbach, however, Bayer is now in a series of three victories. They first celebrated in Europa League against the Bulgarian Ludogorets, and even though they were a team that was losing in that match with 2-0, they eventually won with 3-2.
It was great for their confidence, though they were under pressure against Mainz and they somehow defeated them with 1-0, thanks to a goal by midfielder, Havertz. On Wednesday they met with Fortuna in Dusseldorf and they celebrated with 2-1, and this time the hero was Volland with two goals scored. He had played instead of Brandt and justified the trust, while the other refreshments were also Jedvaj, and Thelin, who could now replace Brandt.
Probable lineups Bayer Leverkusen: Hradecky – Jedvaj, Tah, S.Bender, Wendell – Kohr, L.Bender – Bailey, Havertz, Brandt – Volland
Even though they are in the second place on the table, Borussia Dortmund has no reason for dissatisfaction. And since Bayern is only two points away, the situation is even more favourable, and based on what they have shown so far, it is necessary to fix their game on the side. In the Cup they played against Furth and only won after extra time. While they played a goalless draw in Hannover, and they were lucky to record 1-1 against Hoffenheim, but they had one player less on the field. They were not much better in the Champions League, and they celebrated with only 1-0 against Club Brugge.
They have made two wins with seven goals scored at home, and then the third in which they scored seven goals in 90 minutes. Leipzig and Eintracht were harder rivals who scored one goal in Dortmund, while they did not allow Nurnberg that. The triumph of 7-0 is certainly encouraging before this difficult performance, especially because coach Favre has combined the team a little bit. Now there will be some changes again, while only Toprak and Guerreiro are out of action.
Probable lineups Borussia Dortmund: Burki – Piszczek, Akanji, Diallo, Schmelzer – Witsel, Delaney – Pulisic, Larsen, Reus – Philipp
Bayer has started badly, but now it is clear that they are restoring their form and are certainly able to parry Borussia on their field, which has shown a lot of weaknesses at their guest appearances. We also believe that both teams will have a very offensive approach that will bring a lot of goals to the “Bay Arena”.
Pick: over 2.5 goals 1.65
