Borussia Dortmund return to winning ways prior to the international break when they beat Hoffenheim 3-2 at home.

Reyna’s second half goal was cancelled out by Baumgartner before Bellingham made it 2-1 only for Dabbur to equalize in the 90th minute.

But Håland’s extra time winner proved to be the difference as his strike helped BVB secure a much needed three points.

Dortmund is placed 5th in the table with 6 points from 3 matches.

Borussia Dortmund possible 11:

Kober, Meunier, Hummels, Akanji, Guerreiro, Bellingham, Witsel, Brandt, Reus, Malen and Håland

Prediction: Leverkusen 3-2 Dortmund

This is expected to be a goal-fest as both sides have quality strikers which can make a difference.

It is to be noted that Dortmund’s defence is slightly inconsistent and weak at times which can be exploited.

Due to Leverkusen’s strong start to the season, we expect them to edge this out by the odd goal in five but this is set to be a clash of nerves.

Players to watch out for: Paulinho, Schick, Håland and Reus.
