It's time for the DFB Pokal round of 16 clash between Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen. In a frenzied Signal Iduna Park, one of the title contenders is bound to be eliminated before the quarterfinals. At the time of writing, our experts believe that the 2024 German champions are on the verge of elimination. But in what promises to be a spectacular encounter between the two sides, the tide could turn in either direction.
Given that since 2023, both sides have found the back of the net, expect a game full of twists and turns when the whistle blows. One last thing to note is that the last match ended in a 2-1 victory for BVB... last Saturday. Hostility will be in the air. One thing is certain: it won't be boring in the middle of the week!

Borussia Dortmund - Bayer Leverkusen: Form Analysis
Borussia Dortmund will be brimming with confidence when they take to the pitch on Tuesday evening. Since their Champions League defeat to Manchester City, BVB have not lost a single game. That's a run of four unbeaten games in all competitions and, above all, a successful end to November. A 4-0 victory against Villarreal, followed by a win against Bayer Leverkusen away from home on Saturday evening.
The psychological advantage is with the black and yellow team before kick-off.
A fine run that has just come to an end... While November 1 ended in humiliation against Bayern Munich (3-0), Kasper Hjulmand's men had regained their smiles with four consecutive victories, also in all competitions. Of particular note were two away wins in Europe against Manchester City and Benfica Lisbon. However, Saturday's home defeat against their opponents today is likely to have an impact on the game. Will B04 be able to overcome this setback? We'll find out during regulation time.

Borussia Dortmund & Bayer Leverkusen Squad Analysis
Guirassy has found his way back to scoring for Borussia Dortmund, which is a good thing. However, the key player in Niko Kovac's squad is Karim Adeyemi. The German winger has been unstoppable since the end of the last international break. He has scored in his last three appearances for BVB. That should motivate him to score again after his decisive goal away to Bayer Leverkusen.
For the visitors, the scoring is more evenly distributed.
It's not two players but an entire attacking line that needs to be watched. Patrik Schick scored four goals and provided one assist in November. Jonas Hofmann found the back of the net twice, as did Ibrahima Maza, who also provided two assists. Grimaldo stood out with one goal and one assist, and finally, even the defense can be highlighted. Edmond Tapsoba had two assists and one goal in November. After several failures last Saturday, Bayer Leverkusen will try to make up for it...

Our Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Borussia Dortmund has just completed a third month without a single defeat at home in all competitions. There is no question of such an important streak ending against an opponent they defeated three days earlier in the Bundesliga. However, caution is advised before the start of the game, as B04 has what it takes to turn Signal Iduna Park upside down at the end of 90 minutes. One thing is certain: football fans are in for a treat in a match where goals are expected. Advantage BVB, but watch out for surprises.
Our prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer Leverkusen: goals for both teams and over 2.5 goals in the match!
