Prediction: 3-1
Dusseldorf
High-flying Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to seal their spot in the DFB Pokal final when they take on Fortuna Dusseldorf at their BayArena on Wednesday evening. Xabi Alonso’s men moved one step closer to winning the Bundesliga trophy thanks to a come-from-behind win over Hoffenheim and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Fortuna. Both Amine Adli and Borja Iglesias are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while the German Cup clash comes too early for key attacker Victor Boniface.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the 2. Bundesliga and given their attacking potential, goals galore is on the cards at BayArena. In their last meeting at the venue Bayer Leverkusen defeated Fortuna Dusseldorf 3-0. All Nicolas Gavory, Daniel Bunk, and King Samuel Manu are injured for the visiting team, while midfielder Marcel Sobottka is a major doubt.
