Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund

After winning the reverse fixture, Bayer 04 Leverkusen could now do a league double over Borussia Dortmund for the first time since 2006/07. However, their three-game wait at home for a victory against BVB in the Bundesliga is currently their longest against any top-flight side (D1, L2).

Bayer 04 Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last seven Bundesliga games (W4, D3) – only Union Berlin are currently enjoying a longer undefeated spell (8 games). However, B04’s 2-2 draw in Freiburg was their third draw in their last four games and their 11th overall in 2024/25, a joint league high together with RB Leipzig. Since 2000, the Werkself have only ever shared the points more often in a season in 2009/10 (14 times).

Borussia Dortmund are on a six-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga (W5, D1), winning each of their last three matches – both runs are club bests in 2024/25. BVB have collected a league-high 16 points over the last six matchdays and their current position of fifth is their highest since matchday 13.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have picked up 13 points from losing positions in the Bundesliga this season – only FC Bayern have claimed more (14). Last time out, B04 avoided defeat after trailing by two goals for the third time this season (joint league high with RB Leipzig), something they last managed in 2015/16 (also 3 times).

Bayer 04 Leverkusen (68 goals scored) and Borussia Dortmund (64) have the second and third-best attacks in the Bundesliga in 2024/25 behind only FC Bayern München (93). BVB have the league’s best chance conversion rate (21%), while B04 have the joint-best big chance conversion rate (47%, same as Gladbach).
