Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Preview

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen

Competition – German Bundesliga

Stadium – SIGNAL IDUNA PARK

Date: 22nd April 2021

Kick-off time – 14:30 GMT

Borussia Dortmund will play their last game of the Bundesliga season when they welcome Bayer Leverkusen to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.

The hosts will look to conclude a largely frustrating season that saw them struggle out of the top four for most of the season on a high note.

However, they head into the last weekend of the campaign full of confidence having secured a top-four finish and silverware in their DFB Pokal with a win over RB Leipzig last Tuesday.

The hosts entertain their visitors on a six-game-winning run in the league, and a seven-game-winning run overall. Saturday’s match affords them the chance to better their season record and extend their winning run to eight in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen have had an even worse season, finishing outside the top four after almost topping the league at some point this season.

They will look to finish on a positive note when they travel to Dortmund by picking up all three points.

They head into this tie without a win in their last two games and have two wins from their last five matches.

They have also failed to score in their last four away trips in the Bundesliga–their worst record in 30 years.

Meanwhile, the visitors are set to finish the season in sixth place no matter the outcome of this match. They face an improved BVB side and enter the tie as underdogs.

However, they have a good history in the last game of the season as they have won their previous five final games of a Bundesliga campaign.
