This Saturday, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund face off at the BayArena in what promises to be a compelling Bundesliga clash. Leverkusen enter the weekend in 2nd place with 68 points, comfortably holding their spot near the top of the table, while Dortmund sit in 5th on 51 points, pushing for a higher finish as the season nears its end.
Leverkusen are coming off a dramatic 2-2 draw at Freiburg, where they came back from a 2-0 deficit, scoring in the 82nd minute and equalizing in stoppage time. That result extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to five matches.
That streak includes wins over Heidenheim and Augsburg, and draws with Union Berlin and St. Pauli. While their form hasn't been flawless—three draws in their last four outings—they’ve shown resilience, especially in clawing back games that looked lost.
Despite missing key players like Alejo Sarco, Martin Terrier, and Jeanuel Belocian due to injury, and with Victor Boniface a fitness doubt, Leverkusen have remained consistent. Their tactical discipline and attacking depth have allowed them to maintain pressure near the top of the table.
Given their solid home form and current momentum, they remain favorites on paper, particularly with the psychological edge of having won the previous encounter between these two teams.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Borussia Dortmund, however, arrive with momentum of their own. The visitors are in red-hot form, winning their last four Bundesliga games and steadily climbing to 5th place. They’re chasing a potential Champions League spot and have more at stake than Leverkusen, which may give them a motivational edge.
Dortmund will be without defender Nico Schlotterbeck and could also miss forward Maximilian Beier, but their recent performances suggest they’re managing injuries effectively.
Historically, clashes between these two sides are known for goals and drama. Both teams have found the net in eight of their last 10 meetings, a trend likely to continue given the attacking threats on both rosters.
While Leverkusen boast the higher league position and home advantage, Dortmund's urgency and form may tip the scales. Given their current streak and greater need for points, it wouldn’t be surprising if the visitors manage to edge this contest—especially if they strike early and unsettle the hosts. Our prediction for Bayer Leverkusen vs. Borussia Dortmund: Dortmund to win.
