In the pivotal match of the 30th round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund will face Bayer Leverkusen. The match predictions and bets for these teams have been prepared by Dailysports analysts.
Borussia Dortmund
Under Edin Terzic's leadership, the team is currently in fifth place in the Bundesliga, trailing RB Leipzig only by goal difference. However, even this fifth position at the end of the season could see Borussia qualify for the Champions League, and they can credit themselves for that achievement as well. In the Champions League, the "Yellow-Blacks" sensationally defeated Atletico (4-2) and advanced to the semifinals. This practically guarantees Germany a top-2 spot in the UEFA coefficient rankings, which means there will be 5 Bundesliga teams in the Champions League next season. Before the match against Atletico, Borussia Dortmund defeated Gladbach 2-1.
Bayer Leverkusen
The match against Borussia Dortmund marks Bayer's first as German champions in the Bundesliga's history. In the previous round, under Habi Alonso's management, the team crushed Werder (5-0) and became unreachable for Bayern. An incredible success. On Thursday, Bayer played away against West Ham in the Europa League quarterfinal second leg. After winning 2-0 at home, Leverkusen managed a 1-1 draw, extending their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 44 matches, setting a new record in top leagues' history.
