Goalkeeper – Burki
Defenders – Hummels, Piszczek, Wendell, Tah
Midfielders – Sancho (VC), Reyna, Diaby, Wirtz
Forwards – Schick, Haaland (C)
Likely Winner:
Borussia Dortmund have finally found their footing after a difficult start to the season and done well to end it on a high. They are on a winning streak of 7 games, which included a 3-2 win over RB Leipzig in the DFB Pokal finals. In this run, they have scored 23 goals with Sancho and Haaland linking up seamlessly. Leverkusen, on the other hand, have just 1 win from their last 4 games with 2 of their last games ending in a draw. The DOR vs LEV Today Match Prediction should be a straightforward win for Dortmund.
