Bayer 04 Leverkusen v Borussia Dortmund 2:30pm EST

[RubberKettle]

Would like to have a bet on this one, but I've not been to hot lately, struggling in NBA and College BB.


I saw Dortmund at +220 a few days ago and now its down to +190ish. Can you all see them winning this game? They have been so good 1st half of the year.

Dortmund will also look for revenge after their opening day 0-2 defeat vs Leverkusen.

[cobeez]

I am not sure on the side. I am a little leary of playing it but will be playing the over 2.5.

[The Special One]

Rubber, I believe that this game will DRAW...
1) they do not want to lose twice to Bayer...
2) they do not have any ties on the road and will have to eventually...

I predict 1-1 or 2-2 but good luck!

From bvd.de, probable lineups:

Bayer Leverkusen: Adler - Schwaab, Friedrich, Reinartz, Castro - Renato Augusto, L. Bender (Vidal), Rolfes, Sam - Helmes, Kießling.
On the bench: Giefer - Hyypiä, Kadlec, Vida, Balitsch, Ballack, Barnetta, Jörgensen, Derdiyok.

[survive]

no Kagawa? damn, he is a beast

[superpapak]

i took Dortmund +0,25 (1,90) days ago, i see good value here
even with draw i win half bet

[JOHON8]

Kagawa is a big miss. Leverkusen is strong at home I don't know if it's smart taking Dortmund in this position.

I am on Leverkusen Pk

[The Special One]

Kagawa is a big miss. Leverkusen is strong at home I don't know if it's smart taking Dortmund in this position.

I completely agree with you, Kagawa is one of my favorite players currently - I would be glad to see him in MNU... I think the game will DRAW because of him missing - they are lacking his added offensive boost, but are still composed defensively and so I think that they could force a 1-1 or 2-2 DRAW, regardless of what Bayer throws at them...

I really like the draw especially with Kagawa out but im taking Borussia +.5 for 1.629 just in case they pull off their revenge.

[alon7777777]

I took Leverkusen ML Dortmund cant continue winnin like in the first half of the season

[scholesy]

tough call, draw is a good possibility

[donsirlisir]

dortmund will struggle without kagawa.

[radishman]

Kagawa is great but Mario Gotze is even better.
18 years old and one of the top 5 talents worldwide.

[datrugal]

Good call on the dortmund pick guys. It was a well deserved revenge for their O - 2 loss to Leverkusen earlier in the season

[thekid667]

Winner winner chicken dinner!!

[baryon]

Borussia is just playing unbelievable, you'd think they have to stop and they just keep winning Bundesliga champs

[latinrus]

Borussia played well! But also the Leverkusen defense was a mess today! I just watched the goals!

Anyway for all Borussia Backers that as good
