One of the big encounters in the Bundesliga this weekend will have Bayer Leverkusen hosting Borussia Dortmund, with the teams fighting to get into the European football slots. Leverkusen have 24 points and are ninth ahead of this game then Borussia Dortmund have 34 points, in sixth place. Bayer Leverkusen managed Xabi Alonso has had a good run at the club since taking charge and will hope to build on the five straight wins they carry into this game. They have three losses in 10 league matches and having scored at least two goals in seven of their last 10 matches means they come into this game on a good run in attack. Frenchman Moussa Diaby, on six goals, is the team’s lead scorer in the league and he has done well in their recent league games, scoring four goals in the last four league games. They are unbeaten in six home games in Bundesliga, winning four and both teams have scored in five of their last 10 home matches in the league.

Borussia Dortmund will go into this game with two straight wins but they’ve struggled in the two matches, having to score late winners. In their most recent match, they came from a goal down to beat Mainz 2-1 after beating Augsburg 4-3 in the opening game of 2023. Gio Reyna scored the winning goals on both occasions and Borussia Dortmund will also approach this game confidently, even though they are without a clean sheet in four matches. Both teams have scored in three of their last four league matches and they have only failed to score once in five league matches. In four of their last five matches Borussia Dortmund have scored two or more goals and they will want to do better away from home, where they have lost five times in their last seven matches.
