5 - Bayer Leverkusen - Borussia Dortmund
over 2,5 @1,86 Pinnacle Stake: 5/10
Finally opening game of Bundesliga after mid-season. dormund finished first half in 1st position with 10 points ahead of Leverkusen. So this game is one of the most important game of the season for Leverkusen. Actually i'm thinking of 3 clubs; Dortmund, Leverkusen and Bayern Munchen for the championship fight this year.
Dortmund have some problems in the regular squad. Kagawa is out with Japan national team and Barrios is doubtful with stomach virus. Some sources says that he will play if Klopp sees him fit. So replacements will be either Zidan or Blaszczykowski for Kagawa and Lewandowski for Barrios. Training camp was good for Dortmund. Especially 4-0 win over Basel showed that team has a promise this season also. Leverkusen is finally celebrating Ballack and probably he'll be on the game tonight. I like the Leverkusen team very much. Balanced and solid team with attackers like Sam, Helmes and Kiessling. Moreover Leverkusen have much more different attack player options than Dortmund team.
Opening game; so both teams will try to show their strenght to each other. Statistically Leverkusen finished most of his game over at home and Dortmund likes to play goallie games away. I'm expecting goals.
