Both teams will head into this match having played Portuguese opposition for Thursday’s UEFA Europa League. Leverkusen traveled to Sporting Lisbon where they won 0-1, whilst Dortmund managed a 2-0 win over Porto in the Signal Iduna Park.
Leverkusen are without a win at home to Dortmund in 8 matches. They have dropped more points to Dortmund than against any other team of the Bundesliga. After Saturday’s 2-1 win over Darmstadt, Leverkusen have now gone 6 games undefeated (4-2-0) for the first time this season.
Hernandez (aka Chicharito) is sidelined.
Possible line-up
Leno – Jedvaj, Tah, Toprak, Wendell – Kramer, Kampl – Bellarabi, Brandt, Mehmedi – Kießling
Absentees: Bender, Aranguiz, Hernandez
Borussia Dortmund are in impressive form. Saturday’s 1-0 win over Hannover saw them maintain their 13-point lead to 3rd place Leverkusen. BVB’s gap to Bayern Munich increased to 11 points on Saturday and the title looks like an impossible mission. Thomas Tuchel may have to rotate his starting line-up because of the Europa League duty against FC Porto.
Dortmund’s current points (48) would have been sufficient to see them top the table at this stage of the season in 40 of the 52 Bundesliga campaigns played to date! They are also more than the 46 points collected in the whole of last year’s championship that looks like a distant memory.
Possible line-up
Dortmund: Bürki – Piszczek, Sokratis, Hummels, Schmelzer – Ginter – Gündogan, Castro – H. Mkhitaryan, Reus – Aubameyang
Absentees: Weidenfeller
