Game Prediction

Our prediction for Bayer vs Borussia Dortmund
The Leverkusen team had their best ever season last year. Domestically, they didn't lose a single match, ultimately winning their first ever championship title—and then the cup as well. However, there was a setback: they lost to Atalanta in the Europa League. Terzić's men reached the Champions League final last season, where they lost to Real Madrid. But in the Bundesliga, they finished only fifth.
This summer, Nuri Şahin became Dortmund's new coach. But he lasted only until mid-winter and was heavily criticized almost immediately. His replacement, Niko Kovač, as expected, couldn't get past Barcelona in the Champions League, although after a 0-4 home loss they won 3-1 in the return leg. In the Bundesliga, however, the team improved and revived hopes for a top-4 finish. In the last round, Wolfsburg were swept aside with a 4-0 win. Xabi Alonso added the Super Cup to his achievements but gradually fell behind Bayern in the Bundesliga, and also lost to them in the Champions League playoffs. While they did beat Bayern in Munich in the cup (and not only Bayern), they were sensationally knocked out by Arminia in the semifinals. Meanwhile, a 2-2 draw with Freiburg officially ended their championship reign after the last round.
Patrik Schick and his teammates average 2.13 goals per match, conceding 1.16 in return. Guirassy and his new teammates also have a good ratio, though less impressive: averaging two goals scored per game and conceding just over one and a half.
