Bayer Leverkusen vs Dortmund Match Preview

Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund will go head to head for the German Bundesliga, round 17, two sides that fight for this season's title.

The hosts are not in their best shape, having just 1 point in the last 4 rounds, and they are currently placed 7 points behind the league leaders, Bayern Munich. They are ranked 3rd, alongside today's opponent, Dortmund, and here they will have the chance even to reach 2nd-placed, Leipsig.

On the other hand, Dortmund failed to get all three points in the previous round, playing a 1-1 draw against Maintz on the road. They are the favorites to win on this one, but still, it will not be an easy task for them. In their last 5 away encounters, Dortmund found the back of the net on each game but also conceded many goals.

Both sides are struggling in the past few weeks but I think they will give their best here, as this match can be decisive for a spot in the top 3 of the league.

I'll avoid predicting the winner in this one, my pick is over 2.5 goals to be scored. In the last five h2h games of these two sides, they've scored a total of 4 goals on every game. Since the draw is not the desired outcome for any of these sides, I expect to see many goals here.
