Over 2.5 Goals
Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund have both been committed to playing exciting, attacking football for several seasons and fans at the BayArena are certain to be entertained when these giants trade blows on Sunday. Incredibly, nine of the last ten encounters between the sides have featured over 2.5 goals and our first prediction tips the goals to flow again this weekend. Both sides are heavily dusted with difference-makers in attack and another stake on over 2.5 goals seems to fit the factors snuggly.
Bayer Leverkusen Double Chance
Head Coach Xabi Alonso is starting to get a real tune out of his Bayer Leverkusen squad and successive wins over Gladbach and Bochum after the mid-season break have catapulted Die Werkself up to eighth spot in the Bundesliga. At the BayArena, Bayer have won four of their last five assignments, conceding just two goals along the way and they have beaten Dortmund in two of the clubs’ last three tussles at that venue. It’s tough to separate the teams on Sunday though the hosts look excellent value in the double chance stakes.
