The Bundesliga is back from the break with a bang!
The Bundesliga has taken a short winter break and will start on Friday, 2025, with a great match when Borussia Dortmund hosts reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen at Signal Iduna Park. At the beginning of the season, it seemed that Xabi Alonso's men would not be able to repeat their title this season, but "Die Werkself "has now crept within four points of Bayern Munich! Anything is still possible.
Dortmund, on the other hand, has been much more sluggish. They are sixth in the standings heading into January, and the goal expectations speak harshly about BVB's mediocre performance. On the results side, the early winter has been quite moderate, with the last defeat coming in November. Dortmund is always tough at Signal Iduna Park—there's no getting around it. Remember the Yellow Wall! They are still unbeaten at home this season, but in terms of goal expectations they are only 4th best home team this season. They kept Bayern Munchen to a 1-1 draw in November, but they could had lost it by 2 goals and this is a similar challenge.
Pascal Gross will be sidelined for the yellow-blacks on Friday due to suspension. Niklas Süle is injured and Waldemar Antoni and Almugera Kabar are still expected to recover from their winter illnesses. Emre Can may have to step in as a centreback again.
Leverkusen went into the winter break with a winning streak of no less than eight matches, including the Champions League and the DFB Pokal. Alonso's team has also managed to capture some tough scalps in this run when they defeated Inter Milan in the UCL and Bayern were sent packing in the German Cup. What is Dortmund compared to these two currently?
In Bundesliga Leverkusen have won their last 5 games, 3 of them by this handicap.
Leverkusen team news:
Victor Boniface and Amine Adli will probably return to action in January, but neither of them will have anything to do with Leverkusen's lineup on Friday. Jeanuël Belocian is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
So what will happen tonight? Alonso's team is clearly ahead of the hosts in class-wise, and since the yellow and blacks still have a big deficit in the defense I am keen on Leverkusen to win. Even with the best players, Dortmund has kept a clean sheet only 3 times.
I am greedy, I search for value. Dortmund rarely loses at home, but if they do it will against a top team like Leverkusen, and the odds are tasty! Good luck!

德甲联赛从休息中轰的一声回来了！
德甲联赛已经结束了短暂的冬歇期，将于2025年周五开赛，届时多特蒙德将在信号伊杜纳公园主场迎战卫冕冠军勒沃库森。本赛季初，哈维·阿隆索的球队似乎无法在本赛季再次夺冠，但现在“工厂”已经与拜仁慕尼黑的差距缩小到4分！一切皆有可能。
另一方面，多特蒙德的表现则迟钝得多。他们在1月份的积分榜上排名第六，进球的期望对BVB平庸的表现提出了严厉的批评。在结果方面，初冬的表现相当温和，上一次失利是在11月。多特蒙德在信号伊杜纳公园总是很强硬，这是无法回避的。记住黄墙！本赛季他们在主场仍然保持不败，但就进球预期而言，他们只是本赛季第四好的主场球队。他们在11月1-1逼平了拜仁慕尼黑，但他们本可以输2球，这是一个类似的挑战。
帕斯卡·格罗斯将因停赛缺席周五的黄黑队比赛。尼古拉斯·斯皮尔斯受伤了，瓦尔德马尔·安东尼和阿尔穆格拉·卡巴尔仍有望从冬季的伤病中恢复过来。埃姆雷·詹可能不得不再次担任中后卫。
勒沃库森带着不少于8场的连胜进入冬歇期，其中包括欧冠和德甲联赛。阿隆索的球队在欧冠击败国际米兰，拜仁在德国杯被淘汰出局时，也取得了一些胜利。现在多特蒙德和这两支球队比起来怎么样？
在德甲，勒沃库森赢了最近5场比赛，其中3场是在这种不利条件下。
勒沃库森队新闻：
博尼菲斯和阿明·阿德利可能会在一月份复出，但是他们都不会在周五的比赛中出现在勒沃库森的阵容中。Jeanuël由于膝伤，贝洛西安将缺席本赛季余下的比赛。
那么今晚会发生什么呢？阿隆索的车队显然在级别上领先于东道主，由于黄黑车队在防守上仍然有很大的差距，我希望勒沃库森能赢。即使拥有最好的球员，多特蒙德也只有3次不失球。
我很贪婪，我追求价值。多特蒙德很少在主场输球，但如果他们输了，他们将面对像勒沃库森这样的顶级球队，而且胜算很大！好运！
