Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Handicap – Leverkusen +1 – 1.85
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Leverkusen to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 2.1
Leverkusen +1 Handicap
Dortmund have been in steady form in the league, winning three of their last four, but they’re far from infallible, as we have seen on multiple occasions. For starters, their defence really is a cause for concern, especially since the visitors have been firing on all cylinders offensively, while the fact that star player and chief goal-getter Erling Haaland is out is a big negative for the hosts.
Moreover, the visitors have avoided defeat in two of their last three against top-half opposition. The manner in which they get to the better of Leipzig on the road is particularly eye-catching, so much so that they probably should be a shorter price to get something here.
Leverkusen to Score Over 1.5 Goals
In their current scoring form, the visitors also look a good bet to bag a couple of goals. Dortmund have conceded at least twice in four of their last five in all competitions, conceding seven goals in their last four league matches. Combine this with the fact that the Leverkusen boys are averaging three goals per game in 2022, alongside the fact that they’ve scored two or more in three of their four away games against top-half teams this season, and visiting goals are easy to side with at the current odds.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Hoffenheim vs Dortmund
After a disappointing DFB Pokal exit, Marco Rose’s men dusted themselves off and got back down to business when last in action, beating Hoffenheim away from home, scoring three goals in the process. Though they once again showed defensive frailties, their powerful attack was enough to see them through to a much-needed victory.
In terms of results in the league, things have generally been going well for Sunday’s hosts, who continue to score no shortage of goals, notching multiple goals in each of their last five Bundesliga matches. The reason that the approach this game week six points behind the league leaders is certainly not a lack of offensive potency, that’s for sure. Thanks perhaps to something of a cavalier approach, which certainly entertains, they do sometimes come up short in the defensive third. BVB are without a clean sheet in four league games, conceding a total of seven goals during that time.
For the visitors, well, 2022 has been kind so far. Since the turn of the year, Leverkusen are unbeaten, picking up a draw and two wins. They ought to arrive at Signal Iduna Park in high spirits having notched five goals on route to victory last time out, while they’ve now scored a pleasing total of nine goals in three games since returning from the festive break.
The visitors should also have renewed travelling confidence after beating Borussia Monchengladbach in their most recent away-day fixture. Their attacking efforts on that occasion suggest that they can certainly cause Dortmund’s rather ricketty back-line a few problems.
Quick Rich
If you’re looking for something at a bigger price, then take a chance on Florian Wirtz in the ‘Anytime Scorer’ market. The attack-minded midfielder has chipped in with five goals this season, while he also averages a healthy 0.27 expected goals per 90 minutes.
