Leverkusen – Dortmund

In Leverkusen, the guests from Dortmund have not lost for four years.

On Tuesday, Bayer created a real sensation in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola unexpectedly rotated the Manchester City lineup precisely in the match against the Leverkusen club. Apparently, the coach of the Manchester team relied on the recent results of both his team and the opponent. Firstly, Manchester City had recently easily dealt with Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad. Secondly, Bayer had conceded a total of ten goals from PSG and Bayern. The Manchester City players who received less playing time took to the field and conceded two unanswered goals from Grimaldo and company. That evening at the Etihad Stadium, there was no one with a broader and more sincere smile than Kasper Juhlmann. It should be noted that this specialist took over Bayer already after the season had started in a 'broken' state. Such a victory, like in Manchester, can be considered the most important for the Dane in Leverkusen. However, will such a result come back to haunt Bayer in a few days in the Bundesliga? It is worth remembering that the 'pharmacists' team is still quite 'raw' to expect long stable streaks from it. After all, in Manchester, it was already Bayer's fourth consecutive victory following two in the league and a successful trip to Lisbon. The Dortmund club lost their match in Manchester with a score of 1:4 ahead of the last break for national team matches. However, the players of the visiting team are unlikely to think about that. They received their charge of positive emotions as a result of a home rout against Villarreal in the Champions League. Additionally, in the same tournament, they are positioned ten spots above Bayer. The 'bees' will travel to Leverkusen after two draws in the Bundesliga against Stuttgart and Hamburg. It is likely that the team will shamelessly take the 'second number' position on the field. The fact that the last match with Bayer on their turf ended in favor of Dortmund with a score of 4:2 will also add confidence to the visitors. Moreover, the last time Borussia lost in Leverkusen was back in 2021. Considering that this is a match between direct competitors, it is unlikely to come easily for either side. In such conditions, a double outcome in favor of the guests should be chosen.
