Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on Borussia-Park when Borussia M’gladbach and Bayer Leverkusen face each other in the Bundesliga derby. Die Fohlen aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Both Christoph Kramer and Mamadou Doucoure are sidelined through illness, while defender Ramy Bensebaini represents Tunisia at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. Midfielder Jonas Hofmann misses out with a knee injury.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with Union Berlin at the weekend, and seeing that they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Both Tapsoba and Kossounou are on international duty, while Aranguiz and Palacios are sidelined with injuries. Bayer midfielder Nadiem Amiri has been tested positive for coronavirus.
