Bayer 04 Leverkusen
- The Werkself are 3rd in the Bundesliga table, one point above 4th placed BVB.
- Bayer 04 have won four and drawn one of their six home league games this season, conceding just 0.67 goals per game.
- Kasper Hjulmand has begun to put his own stamp on the side since his appointment as head coach in September 2025, and the Werkself are rolling along nicely, coming into this with four wins in their last five in all competitions. For those seeking Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund betting tips, their recent home form is an important consideration.
- Hjulmand’s favoured 3-4-2-1 system is very flexible, changing shape with and without the ball, but its core principle is ball possession.
- Florian Wirtz is still the creative spark and driving force in the side, but Patrik Schick is the top scorer with five Bundesliga goals in nine appearances so far this season.
Borussia Dortmund
- The visitors have been much more compact and solid this term, but still retain the ability to hurt teams on the counter with their pace and the quality in their front two.
- Julian Brandt is a constant driving force for BVB in midfield, providing the assist as often as he does the goal.
- But the goal-getter on Saturday will more likely be Serhou Guirassy, the pacey, powerful and ruthless forward leading the line with 5 Bundesliga goals in 10 games this term.
- Borussia Dortmund have a solid away form this year with 3 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat in the Bundesliga, averaging 1.67 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game on their travels. This makes the Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund betting tips particularly interesting for punters looking at away results.
Head-to-Head
- This, combined with the fact that the last two Bundesliga H2H have split results but Dortmund won 4-2 when they last visited six months ago, makes them a threat on the road.
- A fixture between Leverkusen and Dortmund is never dull and both sides have the quality to beat one another on their day, but momentum is on the host’s side this weekend. Fans comparing past outcomes may look for a solid Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund prediction before placing bets.
