BVB vs. Bayer Leverkusen: Predicted starting line-ups | OneFootball

This time, BVB will not be playing the marquee match on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Against Bayer Leverkusen, the aim is to get revenge for the recent defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen, which knocked Dortmund out of the DFB-Pokal. Here are the predicted starting lineups for both teams for this Bundesliga clash.

Coach Niko Kovac will be without three injured players: Emre Can, Filippo Mane, and Felix Nmecha. Karim Adeyemi will also miss out after picking up his fifth yellow card.

kicker predicts the following starting lineup for the Black and Yellows:

Gregor Kobel – Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini – Julian Ryerson, Jobe Bellingham, Daniel Svensson – Marcel Sabitzer, Julian Brandt – Serhou Guirassy, Maximilian Beier

However, it is also considered quite possible that the coach could rotate his lineup, which would lead to a different selection.

Marcel Sabitzer is also expected to deliver for BVB

The visitors from Bayer Leverkusen have just two absences, Arthur and Martin Terrier. Even so, the task could hardly be tougher, as they are facing the Bundesliga’s second-strongest home team. BVB’s home record so far stands at 11-2-1. Only Bayern have collected more points at home, with 37 compared to BVB’s 35.

With a record of 6-4-4, Leverkusen are also not especially strong away from home, at least not in the way you would expect from a true top team. But then again, Bayer are not really that this season either, currently sitting sixth in the table.

Bayer Leverkusen are expected to start in Dortmund under coach Kasper Hjulmand as follows:

Mark Flekken – Jarrell Quansah, Robert Andrich, Edmond Tapsoba, Alejandro Grimaldo – Aleix Garcia, Exequiel Palacios – Montrell Culbreath, Nathan Tella, Ibrahim Maza – Christian Michel Kofane

However, according to kicker, there is still a question mark over Quansah’s availability.

According to the bookmakers, BVB are fairly clear favorites to win on Saturday. The odds for a home win range between 1.95 and 1.98. Most odds for an away win are around 3.40.

BVB won 2-1 in Leverkusen this season, but lost their home match against Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal 1-0.
