Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Preview

Borussia Dortmund

The Millionaires had high hopes from Sebastien Haller, but the prolific attacker recently received bad news about his health and has been ruled out ever since. Head coach Edin Terzic needs to change the tactics now and adjust them to Mallen and Adeyemi, who are different players than Haller.

We haven’t seen much from the Millionaires during the preseason period, as they played a few games, most notable against Valencia, 1-3, and Villarreal, 0-2. The fans didn’t accept these losses calmly and were pretty cruel on the social networks.

Though winning 3-0 in the DFB Pokal, somewhat eased the pressure on Terzic and the boys, that is only temporary, and if they don’t win on Saturday night, things won’t be pleasant.

Bayer Leverkusen

Unlike Borussia, who lost Haaland and Witsel, Bayer didn’t sell his best players. In fact, none of the important ones left the team, which is a big plus for the head coach Gerardo Seoane.

What can we say about this unit? Well, the most important data is that they lost in the opening round of the German Cup to Elversberg, 4-3, and that was by far the biggest surprise of all in this competition. Not a start Leverkusen played. Therefore, Schick and the boys will give 100% of their abilities to win on Saturday. 

Just one player signed for Leverkusen this summer, and that is Adam Hlozek, one of the biggest Czech talents, and he will form a respectable duo with his teammate from the national team, Schick, who was the second-best scorer in the Bundesliga last year.
