How to Watch Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen: Live Stream and Preview
The Bundesliga returns after the winter break and does so with a bang, as sixth-placed Borussia Dortmund host defending champions Bayer Leverkusen, who sit second and resume just four points behind leaders Bayern Munich after 15 games.
After a slow start to their title defence, Leverkusen are on the charge and they will be seeking a sixth-straight league victory at Signal Iduna Park.
It has been a pretty inconsistent campaign so far for Borussia Dortmund, who have won only seven of their opening 15 league games, but they are pretty formidable on home soil.
BVB remain unbeaten from eight home league fixtures and that includes a 2-1 success over fourth-placed RB Leipzig and a 1-1 draw with table-topping Bayern, who required a late equaliser from midfield maverick Jamal Musiala to spare their blushes.
Having lost only one of their last seven meetings with Leverkusen, Dortmund have every right to be feeling optimistic about their prospects on their own patch.
However, manager Nuri Sahin must prepare without the suspended Pascal Gross and injured Niklas Sule, which does somewhat disrupt them defensively.

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Form Guide and Head-to-Head Stats
The winter break was the last thing Xabi Alonso would have wanted as his side were going through the gears, recording eight straight successes in all competitions.
Leverkusen will be determined to kickstart 2025 in similar vein, but they have been held to draws in three of their last five away league games.
Attacking talents Amine Adil and Victor Boniface remain sidelined for the visitors, but Dortmund are without a clean sheet in six, so Leverkusen should still make their presence felt with Patrik Schick and Florian Wirtz leading the threat.
That said, the pair played out a couple of 1-1 draws in the Bundesliga last season and it promises to be another closely-fought encounter.
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
The visitors are in superb form, sitting seven points and four places above Friday’s opposition, however, the hosts’ stellar unbeaten home record means these two should cancel each other out.
