Top team Borussia Dortmund (4-0-0, 12 points) aims to extend its season opening four-game winning streak as it faces Bayer 04 Leverkusen (2-2-0, 6 points) on Sunday at the Signal Iduna Park as the 2015-2016 Bundesliga moves forward.
Der BVB is currently leading the league together with defending German champs Bayern Munich with 12 points apiece in the overall standings as they remain undefeated after four games.
Thomas Tuchel's squad trounced Hannover 96, 4-2, in their last game despite resting prized forward Marco Reus for the game.
Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a double to lead Dortmund while Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan contributed one, as per SkySports. Hannover defender Felipe's own goal completed the final score.
Meanwhile, Bayer was upset at the BayArena by newly-promoted club Darmstadt 98, 0-1, in their last match to drop their second straight game of the season.
Darmstadt team captain Aytaç Sulu scored a goal in the 8th minute of the game and the Lillies never wavered on defense to keep it the rest of the way, as reported by ESPN.
Die Borussen is expected to take advantage of Bayer's low morale after their recent losses as Reus goes back to the lineup in this match. Roger Schmidt will have no answer for the attacking tandem of Reus and Aubameyang.
The prediction is a 3-0 rout for Borussia Dortmund.
