The previous outing between these clubs ended in favour of the Werkself.
Borussia Dortmund are all set to take on Bayer 04 Leverkusen for their matchweek 29 outing of the 2025-26 Bundesliga. These sides are going to come up with an intense clash, taking place at Signal Iduna Park.
Niko Kovač’s men are on a sensational run of form at the moment. They have secured back-to-back wins in their last four matches.
The Black and Yellow are coming in after securing three points against VfB Stuttgart. They scored two goals, leading them to a win.
Borussia Dortmund will be at home for their upcoming fixture. It is going to be one of their advantages. Having won 19 of their 28 games, they are in second place on the league table at the moment.
The Kasper Hjulmand-led side have performed inconsistently in their last few matches. This can become a problem for them moving forward. They are coming in after bagging a 6-3 win against VfL Wolfsburg in their last matchup.
