Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Leverkusen
  • Defenders Nico Schulz and Manuel Akanji suffered injuries playing for their respective countries and are both doubts.
  • Leonardo Balerdi could make his Dortmund debut having also made his international bow with Argentina in midweek. Achraf Hakimi could slot into left-back instead of Schulz.
  • Belgium internationals Axel Witsel and Thorgan Hazard missed the defeat at Union Berlin through injury, but have both returned to training.
  • Witsel seems the likelier of the two to make an immediate return to the starting line up.
  • Sven Bender had to break off from training in midweek, but should be fit according to head coach Peter Bosz.
  • Joel Pohjanpalo has just started his long journey back from injury by returning to training. The Finland striker will still need a few more weeks to build up to full fitness after a long absence.

Prediction

  • Borussia Dortmund will look to regroup after their embarrassing 3-1 defeat to Union Berlin as they host unbeaten Leverkusen.
  • This game should produce goals at both ends with two potent attacking forces doing battle and sharing the spoils.

  • Both teams to score no

  • @footballover You wrote no team will score after Dortmund lead 1-0 ? :-))

  • @neumi17 , are you still taking English classes ?

  • @neumi17 he didn't write that no team will score, he wrote BTTS - no, which means that either no team will score or only one team will score. and he was right :)

  • @wilde Btts means both will score, not only one or none. And No means no. Usually his prediction is 0-0 so this fitted in perfectly ...

  • @neumi17 @neumi17 BTTS means both teams to score, you're right. So "BTTS - no" means that either only one team will score or no team will score, as the only impossible scenario in this case is BTTS.

  • @neumi17 , you clearly have no idea about betting market . In every football game , there’s a market for both teams go score yes and both to score no . You are following grammar here that’s why you need to take more English lesson and have some common sense before making hilarious comments

  • @wilde , thank you. Common sense are not common these days ;)

  • @footballover Sorry but your sentence was not common sense ...

  • 3-2

  • 4-4

  • Paco the taco to score, Sancho assisting : Low odds

  • 3+ goals
