Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Picks - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 1/8/25, 2:30 PM by Simon Day in Bundesliga Picks

The Bundesliga returns on Friday night with a blockbuster clash between champions Bayer Leverkusen and last season's Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund. It has been an uneven season so far for Dortmund and they are currently languishing in sixth place. However, there are signs that they are slowly returning to their best, and before the winter break, they were unbeaten in five league games. Leverkusen have largely carried on the superb form that saw them romp to the Bundesliga league title last season, but because of Bayern Munich's incredible start to the campaign, the champions are currently four points off top spot.

Our Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

Dortmund are steadily improving this season, but we still think Leverkusen will have the edge in this one. Xavi Alonso's men were playing some inspired football before the winter break and we think they will hit the ground running on Friday. One key aspect of Leverkusen's success this season has been their propensity to score early on in games. With that in mind, we really like the odds of 2.88 on Alonso's men heading into the interval with a lead. Our prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen is: Leverkusen to be winning at half time.

Prediction:
