Dortmund are in a very erratic form. Although Dortmund have won all three home matches, they have won either against their opponents or not. While the Ruhr team have not won in the last five away games and lost both games recently.
Deserving, the latest defeat at Schalke, at the 152th Revierderby in history, made Dortmund face a lot of problems. It was a total defeat of Dortmund against Schalke, both in terms of the game and the performances of the players. In that match, the bad deeds of Dortmund, especially with Schmelzer's left-wing weakness on the Schalke exploits thoroughly.
Dortmund also suffered a huge loss when the main striker Batshuayi was injured in that match. The Belgian striker is Dortmund's most goalscorer in 2018 and the absence of Batshuayi is likely to make Stoeger's manager struggling to find a substitute.
Even more remarkable, the defeat of Schalke was a blow to the psychology of the Dortmund players. The past has shown that after the Ruhr derby failed, Dortmund often played poorly. In the turn, after leaving Schalke 4-4 4-4, leading 4-0, Dortmund drew 1 and lost 1 in two matches after.
It must be noted that this is the time when Leverkusen is playing well. Failure 2-6 against Bayern in the semi-finals of the German National Cup is just an accident. It was a game Bayern played so well, while Leverkusen soon pushed into the post to rise after losing two goals early to break the game. But with two straight away 4-1 against RB Leipzig and Frankfurt in the last two Bundesliga rounds, Leverkusen is still confident in the visitors.
With explosive attacking play, scoring 10 goals in the last three matches, Leverkusen will certainly play an open match. Attack option is the shortest way to victory for Leverkusen in this match because it will help them fully exploit the capital is not well organized of Dortmund. It also promised an explosive goal at Signal Iduna Park.
