Bayer Leverkusen News

After coming through a difficult start to the season, Bayer Leverkusen appear to be back in the groove in recent weeks. Kasper Hjulmand's team have won their last four matches across all competitions and are now up to third in the Bundesliga table.

Bayer Leverkusen claimed a 3-1 victory at Wolfsburg last time out in the Bundesliga and followed that up with a 2-0 win at Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. They are back at BayArena on Saturday and have won their last three home matches in the league.

Goals are not a problem for Bayer Leverkusen, who have scored first in their last four matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in two of the last three Bundesliga fixtures, while all three matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Like the hosts, Dortmund have no problems going forward and have scored in their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of those fixtures, while three of the last four have produced over 2.5 goals.

Borussia Dortmund have six wins while Bayer Leverkusen have been victorious four times, with two draws in the last 12 matches. Both teams won the away clash last season, with the hosts earning a 3-2 victory in the first meeting while the visitors triumphed 4-2 in the reverse fixture.
