Prediction

  • The Match of the Day in the Bundesliga. Dortmund have a couple more days rest from European action than league leaders Leverkusen who played on Thursday.
  • Leverkusen have scored at least twice in all of their 12 games in a blistering club record start to the season under Xabi Alonso.
  • Dortmund have not featured in a goalless draw in 140 games, since October 2019, and did the double over Leverkusen last term without conceding.
  • Leverkusen should have the quality to prevail but a draw would be no surprise.
