Dortmund vs Leverkusen Prediction & Match Preview

Aron Wright - May 19, 2021

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen
Germany – Bundesliga
Date: Saturday, 22 May 2021
Kick-off at 14:30 UK/ 15:30 CET
Venue: Signal Iduna Park.

Der BVB have secured a ticket to the CL with some truly memorable performances lately. Meanwhile, Leverkusen have secured an entry to the Europa as well. In this final game week, expect either of the two to deliver a cracker of a match-up.

Quite easily, Edin Terzic’s men are the best team in the German top flight, based on recent form. They are on a long winning run, and have scored at will all through this stretch.

Such a streak was absolutely necessary for them as well – as at one point during the campaign, it was a doubt if they would qualify for Europe’s premier competition.

Anyhow, they have ensured a top-four finish, and will try to confirm a spot in the podium with a win in this final match-up.

Meanwhile, Bayer have confirmed their participation in the Europa with an overall consistent run this season. However, they have been struggling a bit lately, and especially on the road.

Moreover, since they are no longer under pressure to deliver, motivation is a bit low in the team camp as well.

On top of that, they also have a poor h2h record against this foe over the years.

By the looks of things, expect a Dortmund win this Saturday at the Signal Iduna Park.

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen: Head-to-head (h2h)

• Terzic’s men had recorded wins in four of the previous six overall fixtures.
• They had scored three or more goals in five of the past six meetings.
• At this venue, the hosts are on a five-game winning streak.
• The combined scorecard for the past five clashes at this stadium is 20-4, in favor of the home team.

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

Der BVB recorded a 1-3 win on the road the last match-day, against Mainz. In the meantime, Leverkusen were held to a 1-1 draw by Union Berlin.

Going on, Terzic’s men are on a seven-game winning run, and had scored a total of 23 goals in the process. Note that they have also lost just twice at home in the past six-month period, and one of these defeats had come in the CL, against finalists Manchester City.

On the other hand, their counterparts were winless in 14 of their preceding 19 overall games, and they had remained so in 10 of their former 11 road trips.

Taking into account these stats, and the h2h superiority of Dortmund, expect a comfortable win for them this weekend at their home.
