Bayer 04 Leverkusen welcome the visitors Fortuna Dusseldorf in the German Bundesliga – Round 22. The match will be held on Sunday, February, 17th, at the BayArena (Leverkusen).
The hosting Bayer 04 Leverkusen managed to overcome the crisis and improve their table placement. Thanks to their confident win over FSV Meintz 05 in the last round (1:5), the Leverkusen outfit took the 6th line which is the European place. Due to the density in the upper table, this position is very unstable though – the closest pursuers are only 1-3 points behind; therefore, the homeside will play for a win only, moreover, they compete at home and their opponent are not very rampant. As far as effectiveness is concerned, Bayer have no issues here – they made 37 goals, and 5 of their 6 latest matches produced over 2.5 goals (in the Bundesliga).

The league newcomers Fortuna Dusseldorf had a failing start to the campaign, but now they demonstrate more of less decent performance. In 4 matches of the calendar year, they suffered only 1 loss, drawed once, and gained 2 wins (defeating Stuttgart and Augsburg that sit in the lower table). The guests are not too effective (their tally is 25 goals) but very leaking (they feature 39 allowed goals – only relegation sides missed more). 4 of 6 Fortuna’s last matches produced over 2.5 goals.
Defining favorites in the coming fixture is not a problem, as the hosts are more motivated these days (they look to attain points to secure their Europa League placement), boast more qualified performers whose form is good, and outclass Fortuna in general. Bayer score a lot, but they still have problems in defense. Fortuna’s defense is failing; they allow many goals. Thus, the match is expected to be filled with goals, and Bayer are seen as winners.
Prediction for the match: Bayer 04 Leverkusen to win & Over 2.5 goals.
