Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund: Prediction and odds on the match on 11 May 2025
Bayer Leverkusen will finish in 2nd position no matter the outcome of the remaining games they play or how the teams around them fare. So there is not much for the team will play for. The reverse is true for Borussia Dortmund, who have been inconsistent this season but managed to string together some impressive wins to climb up to 5th position. With just 2 games left and 4 points between Dortmund in 5th position and Freiburg in 4th position, it remains to be seen if Dortmund will win and hope Freiburg slip up.

Bayer Leverkusen will head into the game in an okay form, considering the recent results of the team. Bayer Leverkusen is still considered a great team in Germany and will be hoping to carry that into a match with a lesser-known team in the Bundesliga. Bayer Leverkusen averages 2.5 goals per game and also concedes 0.8 goals when considering the last six games played. A good sign for Leverkusen is the fact that the team has been ruthless, especially when playing away from home.
It is largely thanks to the brilliance of Xabi Alonso that Leverkusen have found a style of play that they can identify with. The style typically combines possession-based with very quick transitions while having a solid defence. The midfield mostly controls the game and feeds the attack line. It seems Leverkusen might not be able to usurp Bayern Munich but they will surely give it a try.
Bayer Leverkusen: Lineup
Bayer Leverkusen will approach this game high on confidence but with caution due to the many draws recently and the absences of a few players that could potentially impact the squad depth and tactical flexibility. Mario Hermoso, who is a key defensive signing, is missing through injury as well as Martin Terrier and Jeanuel Belocian. Despite the unavailability of these three players, the core of the first team is available and ready to go, and this will be great news for Xavi Alonso as he will have enough quality players on the field.
Xavi Alonso will maintain his fluid 3-5-2 formation that helps the team be fluid and press high up the pitch. With Schick and Boniface available, the attack will be fluid. Leverkusen will control the game with this formation.
🔖 Bayer Leverkusen predicted lineup (3-5-2)
Hrádecký – Tah, Tapsoba, Hincapié – Frimpong, Palacios, Xhaka, Grimaldo, Garcia – Tella, Schick
⛔️ Out: Mario Hermoso, Martin Terrier, Jeanuel Belocian (all injured)
👤 Head coach: Xabi Alonso

Borussia Dortmund: form and statistics
This season has been very dodgy for Borussia Dortmund, which is considered a traditional team in the Bundesliga. Inconsistency due to injury and lapse in concentration has seen the team fall from the top four position. However, the team has the players and brilliance as shown in games to move up the table, starting with this game. This is evident in the recent win over RB Leipzig and the brilliant performance against Hoffenheim and Union Berlin. Dortmund has managed to put together a string of wins, and this has propelled the team to 5th position on the league table.
At the Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund has been very solid as the famous Yellow Wall is always behind the team. Considering the last six Bundesliga games, Dortmund averages 3.3 goals per game at Signal Iduna Park. This shows the potential of the whole team when playing at home.
Borussia Dortmund: Lineup
Borussia Dortmund will set up like they did against Barcelona in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with the attack spearheaded by in-form Guirassy. Couto and Svens will provide the much-needed wing play to support attack and defence. In the absence of Can, Felix Nmecha and Pascal will play in midfield.
🔖 Borussia Dortmund projected lineup (3-4-2-1)
Kobel – Ryerson, Ant, Bensoba – Yan, Svens, Nmecha, Pascal – Maximilian, Karim –Guirassy
⛔️ Out: Can (injured), Sabitzer (injured), Schlotterbeck (injured), Chukwuemeka (injured), Campbell (injured)
👤 Head coach: Niko Kovac

Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund
Xabi Alonso has already announced that he will leave Leverkusen after 2 years in charge and winning the league title last year. Leverkusen have lost form and morale for a while now and with nothing to play for, it is difficult to see the team fighting for the win. Borussia Dortmund still have the chance to qualify for Champions League provided the teams around them drop points. I am convinced Borussia Dortmund will do their best and hope for the best. Hence, I will go with a 1-2 or 1-3 win for Borussia Dortmund after 90 minutes.
