## Team Form at a Glance

| Team | Last 5 Results | Goals Scored | Key Stat |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Borussia Dortmund** | W L W W W (vs Bayern lost) | 11 | Most clean sheets in Bundesliga (13) |
| **Bayer Leverkusen** | W D L D W | 11 | No clean sheet in 6 matches · 2.1 goals/game avg |

Dortmund arrive riding impressive home confidence. Julian Ryerson ranks 3rd in big chances created across the entire Bundesliga this season with 17 — a number that speaks to BVB’s attacking intent. Leverkusen, meanwhile, are in an inconsistent patch after a [Champions League exit to Arsenal](https://www.fotmob.com/matches/bayer-leverkusen-vs-arsenal/2ohs73) and a 3-3 draw with Heidenheim last time out.

## Predicted Lineups & Injuries

| Borussia Dortmund | Status | Bayer Leverkusen | Status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Felix Nmecha | Knee · May 2026 | Jarell Quansah | Thigh · Mid Apr |
| Emre Can | ACL · Season Out | Martin Terrier | Hamstring · Season |
| Filippo Mané | Thigh · Mid Apr | Arthur | Knee · Late Apr |
| Julian Ryerson | Available | Lucas Vázquez | Calf · Few weeks |

Both squads carry notable absences, but BVB’s injury list is arguably less damaging to their core XI. Leverkusen are without four players, including Terrier for the rest of the season.

## Our Prediction

**🏟 Borussia Dortmund 2–1 Bayer Leverkusen**  
Dortmund’s home fortress (most clean sheets, 81k-strong crowd) gives them the edge. Leverkusen’s recent defensive wobbles make them vulnerable on the road. Expect a goal-laden contest where BVB edge it thanks to their superior defensive discipline and Ryerson’s big-chance creation.
