THE PREDICTION

Two of the three highest scoring sides in this season’s Bundesliga so far face off in what could be quite the thriller for neutral supporters. Both Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund have netted nine goals each across their three league games with Leverkusen unbeaten with seven points, one clear of their opponents here. When weighing up the individual all-round ability of the two attacks on show here led by Patrik Schick for Leverkusen and Erling Haaland for Dortmund, then it’s easy to see why goals are expected here. Therefore, back not just over 2.5 goals but also both teams to score.
