Kick-off! BREAK TIME A highly entertaining opening 45 minutes or so comes to an end. Dortmund deserve to lead through Reus's close-range goal but Leverkusen have kept the hosts on their toes. A fascinating second half awaits. Don't go changing. Half-time ADDED TIME There will be three additional minutes to play. HAZARD WARNING Hazard blots his copybook slightly by upending Frimpong and going into the referee's notebook. DAHOUD TO BVB'S RESCUE Schlotterbeck gifts the ball straight to Schick and Dortmund are in trouble. The Czech striker looks to be shaping up for a shot, until Dahoud slides in and nicks possession as cool as you like. At the other end, Bellingham drills one wide of the upright. MENACING HAZARD Solid start from Thorgan Hazard since the BVB No.
There isn’t a clear favorite in this event, with the odds either being almost even or leaning slightly on the hosts’ side. Preview Bayer Leverkusen (+145) recorded wins in both of its games following the restart of the championship. At first, they were better than Bourissia but the one from Monchengladbach, and after that, beat Bochum at home. This was the fifth consecutive victory for Leverkusen in Bundesliga, counting in the events before the World Cup, and after a terrible start, we can say that the team recovered. The way Bayer played in the opening ten rounds was unexplainable, posting horrible performances one after another.
ALMOST SCHICK A sublime Diaby pass from the flank lands right on the toe of Schick. The striker's diverted effort is straight at Kobel, who is thankful to block that out. DAHOUD SHOT A long spell of Dortmund pressure ends with a Dahoud shot that flies well wide of the target. REUS EDGING SCHICK It's been a fascinating battle up front for both sides, with Marco Reus the slightly busier of the game's main forwards. Lest we forget, the Dortmund attacker's goal is the difference between the teams right now. Shots Marco Reus Patrik Schick HINCAPIE BOOKED Hincapie steps on Reus's heel and the referee issues a yellow card for the Leverkusen man. B04 GOAL CHALKED OFF Schick's shot from distance is stopped by Kobel.
5 goals and eight with four or more, while four saw six goals during 90 minutes. Prediction We pick both teams to score and over 2. 5 goals in this event because of several factors. The first is tradition, while the second is the current form of both units. They score goals easily but poorly protect their own net. Also, the respective attacks are much stronger and better than their rival defenses.
Palacios is there to head in the rebound but he was offside when the initial strike was fired at the target. HAZARD ATTEMPT Brilliant work from the tricky Malen, who gets to the goal-line and cuts back for Hazard. The BVB attacker's shot is beaten out by Hradecky. An exciting move, that. HERE COMES HLOZEK Visiting coach Gerado Seoane has brought on new Czech signing, Hlozek. Let's see what that 20-year-old former Sparta player can bring to this second half. BACK UNDERWAY Dortmund kick off the second half.
Credit to him, and best wishes, by the way. Borussia conceded in all but one of its last ten road trips, and that’s something that bothered Millionaires constantly. Unlike their games in Dortmund, the defense has been pretty shaky on away days. Latest News Bayer can’t count on Patrick Schick and Charles Anranguiz, which is a big blow for them even though these two players haven’t been in the protocol for some time now.
10 came on to replace the injured Adeyemi. Hazard has won his first three tackles and he's proving a bit of a headache to the Leverkusen defence at the moment. PALACIOS INTO THE BOOK Palacios is shown a yellow for sliding in on Moukoko. LEVERKUSEN RALLYING B04 are far from lying down here and are beginning to take the game to their hosts. Patrik Schick put Kobel under pressure just moments ago as Die Werkself look to use their possession advantage. REUS: A MAN OF FIRSTS BVB are looking good value for their lead here, which came about via that earlier Marco Reus tap in. The Dortmund captain also scored his team's first goal of the 2021/22 campaign against Eintracht Frankfurt, a game which the Black-and-Yellows won 5-2.
Marco Reus, Thomas Meunier, Abdoulaye Kamara, and Mateu Morey are all out for the visitors. Head to Head Games The year’s first meeting ended with Borussia’s win at home, 1-0. Now, we do need to add that Millionaires didn’t deserve to triumph in that event, but they did it anyway. Bayer was better, the guests saw three of their goals getting canceled and wasting numerous chances. Prior to this event, nine in a row were with over 2.
