Borussia have won their season opener match in the previous 7 times and will be favourites at home in front of their fans.
However, there are some interesting facts which are worth mentioning.
Bayer were the last team to beat Borussia on the opening day in 2014 (2:0). There’s been no draw in any of the previous nine h2h meetings between those teams (Borussia 6 wins, Bayer 3). Moreover, the hosts have not drawn a home league match since February 2021.
Borussia Dortmund not to lose and Total goals over 2.5
Preliminary review and match prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen
Borussia Dortmund will kick off their new Bundesliga season without team star player Erling Haaland, who joined Manchester City this summer for €60 million.
Die Borussen used the money to sign Sebastian Haller from Ajax as a replacement for Haaland and young talent from RB Salzburg Karim Adeyemi. Unfortunately, Haller will be out for several months due to tumour surgery, and currently, Borussia chiefs are trying to find a replacement. It also should be noted that Borussia Dortmund strengthened their defence by signing Niklas Sule and Nico Schlotterbeck.
Meanwhile, Edin Terzic’s men opened their season with a 3-0 German Cup win over 1860 Munich last weekend.

Die Werkself managed to keep their key players, while recently, they have signed forward Adam Hložek from Sparta Prague.
