Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips &— Over 3.5 Goals

Leverkusen has kicked off their Bundesliga season impressively, setting a record for the most points earned in their first 12 games. With 11 victories and only one tie, Leverkusen confidently tops the division, leading Bayern Munich, who’s also in good form, by two points.

Entering this match off a comfortable midweek victory against Hacken in the Europa League, Xabi Alonso’s team is in fine form. With a 2:0 triumph on Thursday, they have achieved an impressive streak of 14 consecutive wins in all competitions since a 2:2 standoff with champions Bayern last September. During this extraordinary winning run, Leverkusen has netted an impressive 43 goals, while only conceding nine.

Furthermore, the hosts have managed to score a minimum of two goals in 19 out of 20 games this season, and in 14 of these matches, they scored at least three.

Dortmund enters Sunday’s significant game in fine form, albeit not as outstanding as Leverkusen. Edin Terzic’s team secured a significant 3:1 victory away at Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday. Dortmund has now achieved seven victories and only two losses in their last ten matches in all competitions.

In the Bundesliga, BVB currently holds the 4th position in the division, however, they are a significant ten points behind Leverkusen. Terzic’s team were able to recover from a two-goal deficit to secure a crucial 4:2 victory against Monchengladbach last weekend.

This fixture has traditionally been exciting, with seven out of the last ten matches having both teams score (BTTS) and exceeding 2.5 goals. The past seven encounters between these adversaries have witnessed a total of 31 goals. We anticipate another high-scoring game this Sunday.

While I do fancy Leverkusen to maintain their winning form, the goal markets cannot be ignored on Sunday. As such, over 2.5 goals is surely the safest pick while we should expect BTTS and over 3.5 goals scored with Leverkusen potentially emerging victorious in a likely thrilling contest.
