On Saturday afternoon, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen clash at Signal Iduna Park as the visitors play their first Bundesliga game after sealing the title.
Dortmund booked last four spot in the Champions LeagueBVB booked their place in the final four of the Champions League with a 5-4 aggregate victory over the Spanish team Atletico Madrid.
Back in the Bundesliga, Edin Terzic’s team made it five wins out of their last six Bundesliga games with a 2-1 win at Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend.
The win against the Foals also saw Dortmund score at least two goals for the sixth time in their last seven outings in the German top flight.
BVB are currently in fifth place in the table, only behind fourth-place RB Leipzig, courtesy of an inferior goal difference.
Dortmund’s recent home record in the Bundesliga is inconsistent, although they have won just three of their last seven league games on home soil.
Bayer plays their first game as German championsDie Werkself recorded a 5-0 home win over Werder Bremen last time out to clinch the Bundesliga title for the first time in their history.
The victory last time out means that Werder has recorded ten straight wins in the German top flight. The result also meant that Xabi Alonso’s team remained unbeaten this season in all competitions.
Bayer has been highly potent in front of goal in the German top flight, having scored at least two goals in all ten recent victories.
Leverkusen are unbeaten in their previous 14 away games in the Bundesliga dating back to last season. Bayer has also won their previous seven league games on their travels.
The visitors have also scored at least two goals in 12 of their last 14 away games in the German top-flight.
What am I backing?I can see this being a highly entertaining encounter with lots of goals. Therefore, the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
