Bayer Leverkusen vs Dusseldorf Prediction & Betting Tips (3 April)

Words are beginning to fail to describe the season achieved by Bayer Leverkusen this year. Still at the top of the Bundesliga with a considerable lead over its first pursuer, Bayern Munich, this team has still not lost a single match this year in all competitions and is heading towards the first championship title in its history. Xabi Alonso's men will also be aiming for an 8th victory in a row in the league this weekend against Hoffenheim after beating Wolfsburg 2-0 and Friborg 2-3 before the break. Furthermore, they are the only elite team still competing in this German Cup and are therefore widely favored to win this competition. During the previous rounds, the Usine 11 was able to dismiss Sandhausen 2-5, Paderborn 3-1 and Stuttgart 3-2 to reach these semi-finals.

Opposite, Fortuna Düsseldorf was therefore not spared by the draw by inheriting a trip to the undefeated Bundesliga leader. However, he arrives with confidence since he has had a very decent season at the lower level where he is in 4th position in the ranking with only one small point behind 3rd place, synonymous with a barrier for accession to the elite. The Rheinlanders won their last two matches against Hamburg 2-0 and Osnabrück 0-4 before the break and they will face Kaiserslautern next weekend. Before playing these semi-finals, they dismissed Magdeburg 1-2 and Sankt Pauli TAB.

Xabi Alonso will once again have to cope without the little-used midfielder Arthur and the replacement goalkeeper Kovar will be absent. On the other hand, the Spanish technician could again count on the serial scorer Boniface who missed several months of competition but who is expected in the group this weekend.

It would thus further strengthen a very efficient offensive sector where we find in particular the excellent full-backs Grimaldo (9 goals, 11 assists in the Bundesliga), and Frimpong (8 goals, 7 assists), the midfielders Hofmann (5 goals, 5 assists) and Wirtz (6 goals, 10 assists), Nigerian Tella (5 goals, 1 assist) and Czech center forward Schick (10 goals in all competitions).
