Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: High Scoring from recent impressive teams

Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund: Prediction for the Match on November 29, 2025

Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund will meet at the BayArena this weekend, with just one point between them in the Bundesliga table. Leverkusen are in 3rd place, slightly ahead of Dortmund in 4th. Both teams are fighting for a spot in the Top 4. They’ve each won their opening Champions League matches, so they’ll have time to prepare for this key clash. Leverkusen’s attack will challenge Dortmund’s strong defense in a match that has produced plenty of drama and goals in recent years. Kick-off is on Saturday evening, and with both teams near the top of the table, every point matters in the title race.

Bayer Leverkusen: Form and Statistics

Bayer Leverkusen have been strong offensively, scoring 15 goals in their last five matches. They’ve shown they can score even in away games, which could challenge Dortmund's defense. However, their loss to Bayern München reveals some weakness against top teams, which may encourage Dortmund to play aggressively. Leverkusen have been in great form, winning 4 of their last 5 games. This includes a dominant 6-0 win against 1. FC Heidenheim at home. Their attack remains strong, and even after a tough 7-2 loss to PSG, they pulled off a stunning 1-0 win against Man City. Leverkusen have won four straight games, conceding just one goal during this run.

Borussia Dortmund: Form and Statistics

Borussia Dortmund ended their winless streak with a 4-0 win over Villarreal on Tuesday. This victory should boost their confidence ahead of a big match. Before this, Dortmund had drawn their last two games but won the two before that. Their matches are often close, and they tend to concede goals, as seen in their recent draws. This suggests both teams could score, but Leverkusen’s current form may give them the upper hand. Under manager Niko Kovac, who took charge in February 2025, Dortmund have found more balance, focusing on compact defense and fast, purposeful attacks. In their last 5 matches, Dortmund won 2, drew 2, and lost 1. Serhou Guirassy, with 5 goals in 10 Bundesliga appearances, leads Dortmund's attack. His speed makes him a threat behind a high defensive line. Julian Brandt, back to his best, remains a key playmaker. Dortmund have a strong away record this season, winning 3, drawing 2, and losing once. They score an average of 1.67 goals per game and concede 1.00 on the road.

Bayer Leverkusen enter the match with 5 wins in their last 6 Bundesliga games. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, has drawn 3 of their recent league matches. Leverkusen have not won any of their last 3 home games against Dortmund, so the visitors have momentum. Both teams are well-matched and can cause problems for each other in transition and from set pieces. Over 2.5 goals looks like a solid bet. Leverkusen have the edge in form and home advantage, but Dortmund are strong away and have a good structure to counter Leverkusen. I’ll pick Leverkusen to edge out a close, hard-fought match.
