Dortmund (14-7-9) are coming into this match after suffering a frustrating 0-2 loss on the road against Ruhr rivals Schalke. After a goal-less first half, Schalke took the lead at the 50th minute, while Dortmund tried hard to come back. However, Schalke managed to double their lead at the 82nd minute and eventually won by 0-2. That loss stung Dortmund, as not only did it cut their appetite for the 2nd spot, but it also dropped them at the 4th. They are now tied with Bayer Leverkusen at 51 points, but Dortmund is below due to a worse goal difference. They have been in abysmal form lately, as they have won just three of their last ten matches in all competitions (3-3-4). At least they have been good at home so far in the season (8-3-4), where they have scored 35 goals against 19 conceded. They have also been excellent there lately, having lost once since December (6-1-3). Dortmund will have quite a few injury concerns ahead of this match, as Batshuayi and Rode are injured, while Durm, Guerreiro, Kagawa, Schurrle, and Zagadou are still doubtful.

On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen (14-7-9) suffered a devastating loss in the semi-finals of the German Cup, where they were destroyed by a massive 6-2 at home against Bayern Munich. The game went wrong from the very start, as their opponents managed to take an early two-goal lead. However, it was in the second half where they exploded, scoring four goals and forcing a really heavy loss. Despite the severe loss, Bayer Leverkusen had been in pretty solid form prior to that, as they had lost just one of their previous six (4-1-1). Following Dortmund's slip-up last week, Bayer Leverkusen have now climbed to the 3rd spot of the Bundesliga with a +18 goal difference, against a +16 by Dortmund. Bayer Leverkusen has been excellent on the road so far (7-4-4), where they have scored 29 goals against 21 conceded. Moreover, they have been spectacular on the road since late September, having lost once in their last 13 matches (8-1-4). They will make this trip without Wendell, and quite possibly without Pohjanpalo who is being listed as a doubt.
