Bayer Leverkusen v Dortmund

• Bayer Leverkusen have been defeated just twice in the league this season.

• They are guaranteed to finish in 2nd, irrespective of this result.

• Dortmund sit one point shy of Champions League qualification, but only two clear of 7th, which would not achieve European football for next season.

• Eight of the last 10 head-to-head clashes between these sides have seen both teams score.

Bayer Leverkusen’s strong performances this season have already secured them 2nd position, with Xabi Alonso’s men sitting 12 points clear of Eintracht Frankfurt in 3rd, but eight shy of Bayern Munich, who clinched the title last week.

This is in stark contrast to Dortmund, whose season hangs in the balance, as Germany’s tight race for Champions League qualification draws to a close.

At present, Dortmund sit in 5th position, but with 4th (UCL), and 7th (no European qualification) separated by just four points, anything could happen.

Die Schwarzgelben have earned 52 points, which is one fewer than Freiburg, who currently occupy the final UCL qualification position.

⭐ Bayer Leverkusen v Dortmund Predictions and Best Bets

The standout option in this game might be to back Bayer Leverkusen to win or draw at 1.53. They’ve remained unbeaten across 30 of their 32 games this season, and have rarely looked second best. Dortmund, on the other hand, have only won 15 out of 32 games, and this is undoubtedly one of the toughest.

Another option would be backing Both Teams to Score at 1.36. Given that Leverkusen have nothing to defend, and Dortmund have no choice but to throw the kitchen sink at it, we could be in for a thriller here. It's a short price but a nice one to potentially combine into a Sunday accumulator.

🔴 Bayer Leverkusen’s Unwavering Consistency

As mentioned, Xabi Alonso’s men have been defeated just twice this season in the league, with only Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig managing to do so. On both occasions, Leverkusen exceeded their opponents in terms of xG.

Looking at their more recent form, they’ve trailed off a bit towards the end of the season, recording three draws in their last four, in addition to a disappointing DFB Pokal exit to Arminia Bielefeld.

Nonetheless, they’ll undoubtedly find themselves fired up for this clash, and it should also be noted that they remain undefeated in seven in the Bundesliga.

🟡 Dortmund Find Form at the Right Time

Not long ago, Dortmund looked to be in a rough position, having recorded seven losses between matchweek 16 and 26. It appeared that the Champions League might be out of reach, but a superb run of five wins and a draw since has put them right back in contention.

They’ve looked good in that period, dominating their opponents in terms of xG in all five wins, and putting in a spirited performance to earn a draw away at Bayern Munich.

A huge factor ahead of this clash is Serhou Guirassy’s stunning form. Having bagged 19 goals in the Bundesliga, Guirassy seems to have taken things up a notch in recent games, racking up nine goal contributions in his last four, and at least one in each of his most recent five.

Those haven’t come against any old opponents either, and include an assist against Bayern and a hat-trick against Barcelona. If the forward manages to maintain this form, there’s little reason to suggest he couldn’t make the difference on Sunday.

📊 Bayer Leverkusen v Dortmund Head-to-Head Key Stats

The reverse fixture presented fans with a spectacle of the highest order, with Leverkusen coming out as eventual 3-2 winners.

Both keepers were kept busy, but could do little in the early stages of the game, which produced four goals inside the opening 20 minutes. Dortmund dominated 70% of possession, which came as a surprise to most, and may not be the case in front of the Leverkusen fans.

Looking a bit further back, both teams have scored in each of the last three showings, and eight of the previous 10, but broadly speaking, there’s been little to separate the two sides results-wise.
