THE PREDICTION

Two of the Bundesliga’s heavy hitters are set to collide in a mouth-watering Saturday night fixture at Signal Iduna-Park. Borussia Dortmund know that the foundation to success will be strong home form, but they face fellow Champions League opposition in Bayer Leverkusen, who like the hosts contain some serious offensive quality within their side. The plans of Edin Terzic were no doubt thrown out the window following new signing Sebastien Haller’s testicular tumour diagnosis, but in Karim Adeyemi and the vastly experienced club legend Marco Reus to name just two, Borussia Dortmund boast more than enough firepower to serve them well in-front of goal. However, Leverkusen themselves are a force going forward with Patrik Schick leading the line and regardless of the final outcome here, backing both teams to score and over 2.5 goals has to be favoured.
