BVB are making their final push to finish in the top four

Matchday 33 of the Bundesliga 2024-25 season will take us to the Bay Arena, where Bayer Leverkusen will host Borussia Dortmund. Xabi Alonso’s side are currently placed second on the points table and failed to retain their league title against Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen have been inconsistent in recent weeks and have only won two of their previous five games. They will look to finish the ongoing league season on a strong note and will be chasing a win against their next opponents.
