Dortmund vs Leverkusen Prediction 21 April 2024

The central match of the round in the German Bundesliga will take place in Dortmund. On April 21st, at “Signal Iduna Park”, Borussia will host the newly crowned champion. Bayer has already accomplished its task and will now try to reach the finish without a single defeat. However, the “Bumblebees” need maximum concentration, as the battle with Leipzig for a place in the Champions League is in full swing.

The hosts have three injured players – Bensebaini, Malen, and Aller. The absence of the last two significantly impacts the attacking capabilities of the “Bumblebees”, and additionally, Adeyemi will not be on the field as he received a red card in the last round. Bayer, on the other hand, recently lost Glojek and Iglesias, but these are reserve forwards, without whom the “Pharmacists” will manage just fine. Also, Adli accumulated too many yellow cards, who is also not considered an essential starting player.

The match will be officiated by a team of referees led by German Daniel Siebert. In 5 out of the last 6 matches, he showed more than 3 yellow cards. The average number of fouls for the last 10 games is 22, and for the last 100 – 23.
