Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund 29.01.2023

The German Bundesliga throws up a very interesting clash in the match day 18 lineup of fixtures, which will see Bayer Leverkusen take on Borussia Dortmund. Both sides are off from a fresh win in their respective matches in midweek.

Leverkusen cruised to a 2-0 over Bochum with goals from Edmond Tapsoba and Adam Hlozek. Meanwhile, Dortmund laboured to a 2-1 win on the road against Mainz. However, this weekend will provide a strenuous test for either side. Xabi Alonso’s team has been on a pretty good run with five wins in five matches including their last match against Bochum. Dortmund has also enjoyed a similar form with four wins and a loss in five games.

Going by the history of this fixture, this is match is one for goals and it looks like both sides are primed for a high-goal-scoring affair.

Therefore, we are confident that there will be at least three total goals recorded in this match.
