At home, Dortmund have been particularly dominant, winning eight of their last nine league matches, with their only recent defeat coming against Bayern.
Their attacking unit, led by Serhou Guirassy with 13 goals, has been effective, while Julian Ryerson contributes creativity with a high assist tally.

Bayer Leverkusen arrive in mixed form, struggling for consistency despite their attacking output.
They ended a five-game winless streak with a thrilling 6-3 victory over Wolfsburg in their last outing.
Across their previous five matches, Leverkusen have scored 13 goals but conceded 12, underlining their open style of play.
They currently occupy sixth place with 49 points, four points adrift of the top four.
Away form remains a concern for Leverkusen, with just one win in their last five Bundesliga trips, alongside three draws and one defeat.
Defensively, they have been vulnerable, conceding multiple goals frequently.
Key players include Patrik Schick, who leads the scoring charts with 10 goals, and Alejandro Grimaldo, who provides attacking support from wide areas.
Injuries to players like Martin Terrier may limit their options, but the squad still possesses attacking quality.
The head-to-head record between these teams has been evenly balanced in recent seasons, though Dortmund have had the edge lately, winning two of the last three league meetings. The reverse fixture saw Dortmund claim a 2-1 away victory, while recent encounters have consistently produced goals, with both teams scoring in each of the last five Bundesliga meetings.
Key Betting Pointers;
- Dortmund have won 10 of their last 12 league games, including four straight
- Dortmund have also taken eight wins from their last nine at home
- Seven of Leverkusen’s last ten matches saw both teams score
- Leverkusen have lost their last two league meetings with Dortmund
- Both teams have scored in the last five clashes between them
Dortmund are favourites to win, especially at home where they have been dominant. However, Leverkusen’s attacking threat makes it likely they will find the net.
