Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips (21 April)

Coming within a small victory of winning the title last year, Dortmund missed their chance to establish themselves at the top of German football. It's much more complicated this year for Borussia, which is not even in the top 4 of the Bundesliga at the start of this 30th day and which is in 5th position, tied on points with 4th, Leipzig, but with a worse goal difference. However, the latest results for Edin Terzic's men are not bad. On the contrary, they won 5 of their last 6 matches including the Klassiker against Bayern 0-2 but they were surprised the following week by a very good Stuttgart team 0-1. Finally, last weekend, the Yellow and Black resumed their march forward against Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-2. At the same time, BVB were playing for a place in the Champions League semi-finals this week against Atlético Madrid. Beaten in Spain last week, he managed to turn things around after a very spectacular 4-2 match during which he showed a lot of character to qualify and join the last four of the C1 for more than 10 years. Unlike their opponent of the day, Bayer Leverkusen seized their chance to seize the Meisterschale with great authority.

And the man we called, with a lot of irony, the “Bayer Neverkusen” because of his breakdowns during important moments has just won his first German championship title. And in what way... Winners of 25 of their 29 matches played this season, Xabi Alonso's men are still undefeated in the league and they have just won their last 10 Bundesliga matches including the last against Hoffenheim 2-1, the Union Berlin 0-1 and Werder Bremen 5-0 last week in the title match. At the same time, the Usine 11 qualified for the final of the German Cup and for the last four of the Europa League after winning their quarter-final first leg against West Ham last week 2 -0 and won the draw Thursday evening in London 1-1, equalizing once again at the very end of the match.

In Dortmund, left-back and former Rennais Bensebaini will once again have to throw in the towel for the reception of the champion. Victim of discomfort in his left ankle, Ivorian striker Haller was also absent in C1 this week and he still cannot play this Sunday. To this we add that the Adeyemi arrow is suspended this week. Finally, the important Dutch striker Malen (11 goals in the Bundesliga) is uncertain. He should not start unlike the excellent playing master Julian Brandt (6 goals and 11 assists in the Bundesliga, decisive in C1 this week). At the forefront, the former Werder Füllkrug (11 goals and 8 assists in the Bundesliga) should be renewed, he who scored a very good goal against Atlético this week.

On the Leverkusen side, Xabi Alonso should only be deprived of the striker replacing Hlozek (2 goals) and the striker recruited this winter Iglesias who are both in the infirmary. Moroccan substitute Adli (2 goals, 3 assists) is suspended this week for an accumulation of yellow cards and Spanish striker Borja Iglesias missed the trip to London on Thursday evening. However, the Spanish technician can count on the basic men of his 3-5-2 system like the full-backs Grimaldo (9 goals, 12 assists in the Bundesliga), and Frimpong (8 goals, 7 assists), midfielders Xhaka and Andric, the rather formidable Hofmann (5 goals, 6 assists), the center forward Schick (5 goals) and the returning Boniface (11 goals, 8 assists). But the real nugget of this team remains the star in the making Florian Wirtz (11 goals, 10 assists). He made his mark in the title match by scoring a hat-trick against Werder Bremen.
