Borussia Dortmund – Bayer Leverkusen. Forecast and announcement for the German Cup match

On December 2, at Signal Iduna Park, the 1/8 final match of the German Cup will be held, in which Borussia Dortmund will meet with Bayer Leverkusen. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Borussia Dortmund

Last season’s team barely took fourth place. It was already a success for Niko Kovač, who replaced Nuri Sahin, who failed in a very difficult situation. But then the enthusiasm for the work of the Croats subsided. The Germans did not impress him with anything special in the summer at the World Club Championship. And they are not playing very stably even now.

But recently the club has managed to achieve some very important successes. In just the last week, he first thrashed Villarreal 4-0 in the Champions League, taking another step towards the play-offs. And then he won in the Bundesliga against the current opponent, and in Leverkusen. Due to this 2:1, they also managed to climb to third place in the current standings – RB Leipzig and, of course, Bayern scored more points.

Bayer

The club under Xabi Alonso managed to rewrite its history in 2023/2024. He then did not lose at all in the domestic arena – this, of course, brought a golden double. In addition, they became the champion of the Bundesliga for the first time in history! However, the triumph was somewhat tarnished after the defeat in the Europa League against Atalanta. And the next season, Bayern confidently won the silver salad bowl.

In the summer, a young Spaniard went to Madrid to train. And many football players were released. The bet on ten Haag turned into a failed start in 2025/2026 and a quick coaching change. Fortunately, Julmand seems to be doing quite well – he beat Manchester City in the last round of the Champions League! On the other hand, nothing happened with the current opponent, even at home – they conceded 1:2.

Statistics of personal meetings

It was the Dortmund club’s second win in a row and fourth in seven finals, with only one loss in that stretch.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not believe that the hosts of an immediate away victory will allow a misfire. We bet on their home win (coefficient – 1.93).
