Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund face each other in a highly-anticipated Bundesliga clash at BayArena. Gerardo Seoane’s troops aim to build on back-to-back wins over Borussia M’gladbach (4-0) and Augsburg (4-1), and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Patrik Shick, who missed September World Cup qualifiers through suspension, will be the man to watch in the home team, while all Baumgartlinger, Bellarabi, Tapsoba, and Fosu-Mensah remain in the recovery room.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, did well to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Freiburg, with the team beating Hoffenheim 3-2 at Signal Iduna Park before the international break. Erling Haland continues where he left last season, and given Bayer Leverkusen’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The likes of Zagadou, Hazard, Meunier, Can, and Reyna, to name just a few, are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
