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 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.
