They have demonstrated defensive solidity, with three clean sheets in their last five matches, and an average of only 0.6 goals conceded per game.

The key factor in this matchup will be Leverkusen's ability to capitalize on Dortmund's defensive frailties while maintaining their own defensive discipline. Football fans should watch for Leverkusen's defensive resilience as they aim to stifle Dortmund's potent attack and secure a crucial victory in their quest for a top-four finish.
