Prediction published on 29/01/2023, 03:47  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions

Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund have had strong starts to 2023 and will be hoping to continue in the same breath when they face off next in the Bundesliga. Hosts Leverkusen will go into this game having posted 24 points, in ninth place. They are three places behind Dortmund who have 10 more points. There has been a marked improvement at Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso and the team comes into this game with five straight wins and having scored two or more goals in all. Three of these five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and Mousa Diaby has been key for the hosts, scoring four in the last five matches. A six-game undefeated run at home places Leverkusen on a very confident footing going into this game.

Borussia Dortmund are coming from a 2-1 win over Mainz, a result that had them come from a goal down to win it very late courtesy of Gio Reyna’s stoppage time winner. It was the second straight game that Reyna scored the winning goal and with Jude Bellingham returning from suspension, the visitors will hope to wrap this up earlier. They have three wins in five but no clean sheet in the last four. They’ve done well in attack though, scoring two or more goals in four of their last five league matches and also four of their last five league matches have had over 2.5 goals scored. Seven of Dortmund’s last 10 away league matches have also produced over 2.5 goals.
