Borussia Dortmund is set to host Bayer Leverkusen for matchday 29 of the Bundesliga, currently holding second place in the league. Dortmund boasts the league's best defensive record with 13 clean sheets. However, coach Niko Kovac faces selection issues due to Karim Adeyemi's suspension and season-ending injuries to Emre Can and Felix Nmecha. Young defender Filippo Mane is also unavailable.
Bayer Leverkusen also contends with a growing list of injured defenders, including Jarell Quansah, Arthur, and Lucas Vazquez. Their attack is further weakened by Martin Terrier's season-ending hamstring injury. Despite these setbacks, Aleix Garcia returns from suspension and is expected to bolster the midfield.
Dortmund enters the match on a strong four-game winning streak, most recently securing a 2-0 victory. Leverkusen, after a winless period, returned to form with a 6-3 win in their last outing, but they remain in sixth place, aiming to improve their standing.
