Bayer Leverkusen Review
Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen have secured second place in the Bundesliga with 68 points, ensuring their qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season. With the league title already decided in favor of Bayern Munich, Leverkusen approach this match without the pressure of league standings. However, this fixture could mark Alonso's final home game, as he has been linked with potential moves away from the club.
Leverkusen's recent form has been mixed, recording three draws in their last four league matches. Notably, they are winless in their last three home encounters against Dortmund, suffering two defeats.
Borussia Dortmund Review
Borussia Dortmund, currently fifth in the Bundesliga with 51 points, are in a tight race for Champions League qualification. They trail fourth-placed Freiburg by one point and need victories in their remaining matches to secure a top-four finish.
Since Niko Kovač took over as head coach in February, Dortmund have shown significant improvement, climbing from 11th to their current position. Kovač has instilled structure and confidence in the team, with players like Waldemar Anton, Niklas Süle, and Maximilian Beier showing notable progress. However, Beier will miss the Leverkusen match due to injury.
Head-to-Head
Historically, matches between Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund have been competitive. In their last six meetings, each team has secured two victories, with two matches ending in draws.
Earlier this season, Leverkusen defeated Dortmund 3-2 at Signal Iduna Park, with Patrik Schick scoring twice.

Nowgoal Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 1–2 Borussia Dortmund
Given Dortmund's imperative to secure Champions League qualification and Leverkusen's secured league position, Dortmund may have a psychological edge. However, Leverkusen's desire to bid farewell to their coach on a high note could motivate a strong performance.
