Best Tip: Both teams to score

Having studied all relevant statistics, including historical head-to-head (H2H) data, we predict this tie will deliver both elation and misery to both sets of fans. We expect both Leverkusen and Dortmund to find the back of the net during the 90 minutes, but the ultimate victor of the match seems less clear. The odds point towards a both teams to score bet, and that's what we'd recommend going with.
