Bet on Dortmund vs Leverkusen

Honours Even Between Two of Germany’s Form Sides

Dortmund are in the mix for UEFA Champions League spots. They sit sixth right now, only two points behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig. Overall, Borussia have won seven, drawn four, and lost four.  

Leverkusen have been solid so far, losing just one Bundesliga match. Xabi Alonso’s side have won nine of 15 in the league, collecting 32 points. They are four points behind the leaders as we enter the halfway stage.

Dortmund are unbeaten in five Bundesliga games. After successive draws with Bayern, Borussia Monchengladbach, and Hoffenheim, Nuri Sahin’s side won 3-1 at Wolfsburg last time out.

Leverkusen are on a stunning run of form, claiming eight straight league and cup wins. They are unbeaten in league action since a 3-2 home loss to Leipzig in August. Will the champions extend their undefeated run with another three points on Friday?

These two played out two 1-1 draws last season. In the game at BayArena, Victor Boniface’s late goal cancelled out Julian Ryerson’s early effort. Josip Stanisic scored at the death to rescue a point for Leverkusen at Signal Iduna Park.  

Dortmund are unbeaten in four against Bayer, winning two and drawing two. Leverkusen’s last success in this fixture was a 5-2 victory in Dortmund in February 2022.

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips & Predictions

Dortmund have almost been faultless on their own patch this season, with just Barcelona winning at Signal Iduna Park. However, they are winless in three in front of their own fans.

Leverkusen’s only defeat on the road came at Anfield in the Champions League over two months ago. This is tough to call, so our money is going on the draw at 3.60. We also fancy both teams to score (1.48).

Bundesliga Betting Picks:

Draw – 3.60
