Leverkusen vs. Dortmund betting tip & prediction: Will the Werkself remain strong under Hjulmand?

Or is BVB improving again in the Bundesliga under Kovac?

Before we recommend a Leverkusen - Dortmund tip, we would like to take a closer look at both clubs. Bayer 04 have only lost one game in the 1st Bundesliga under Kasper Hjulmand - against FC Bayern. Borussia Dortmund play more consistently under Niko Kovac, but the style of soccer is not consistently attractive. In addition, there have recently been two draws in a row in the league. On the surface, Bayer 04 Leverkusen therefore have the advantage. However, BVB aspire to be the second power in German soccer - a role that the Leverkusen team have already challenged them for in recent years. However, the XXL upheaval of the Werkself opens up opportunities here. Which leads us directly to the Leverkusen - Dortmund prediction for November 29, 2025 (6.30 pm). The top match on Saturday evening will take place on matchday 12 of the 25/26 season. The clubs will meet at the BayArena in Leverkusen.

3:2

Yes, this result is perhaps a little high-flying. However, the last two head-to-head meetings ended 3:2 for Leverkusen and 4:2 for BVB. At least one goal for both clubs is likely. In addition, Bayer 04 is currently in slightly better form in the Bundesliga.

What speaks for Leverkusen vs. Dortmund in our betting tips?

In fact, there is a lot to say about Leverkusen ahead of today's sports betting tips. The team has been scoring incredibly consistently in the 1st Bundesliga since the change of coach. On the other hand, the games are often close. Leads are given away or at least a goal is conceded from time to time. The team, which has seven wins, two draws and two defeats, lacks experience and maturity. 27 goals are the second-best performance in the league - together with SGE. 15 goals conceded in eleven games is a little too many for an absolute top team. Bayer 04 have won four, drawn one and conceded one at home. Here, 15:4 goals have been scored - strong!Interim summary of Bayer 04 Leverkusen: Simon Rolfes and Fernando Carro were criticized for the early change of manager. But in the end, the decision against ten Hag and in favor of Kasper Hjulmand has paid off - already.

That's how Leverkusen played last time!

However, our Leverkusen - Dortmund tips wouldn't be complete without a look at the results of the last few weeks. We'll start with Leverkusen's 3:1 win over VfL Wolfsburg. So the sacking of the coach didn't immediately pay off there. Before that, Bayer 04 dominated 1. FC Heidenheim 6:0 and also won 1:0 against Benfica Lisbon in the Premier League. On the other hand, Leverkusen had no chance in the away game at FC Bayern Munich - the final score was 0:3. It also took extra time to beat SC Paderborn 4:2 in the cup. Most recently, the 2:0 over Freiburg and 2:7 against Paris Saint-Germain should be mentioned.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen

System: 4-3-3.

How good is Dortmund's current form?

The weak choice of Watzke, the weapons story surrounding Adeyemi and possibly the occasionally unattractive play under Kovac are a few flashpoints that BVB need to extinguish. What always helps are good results. So far, Borussia Dortmund are in fourth place with six wins, four draws and one defeat. However, the Black & Yellows have only scored 19 goals. "Life insurance" Guirassy scored five times. However, ten goals conceded speak for a stable defense around Anton and Schlotterbeck. There were three wins, two draws and one defeat away from home. In the process, 10:6 goals were scored.Interim assessment of Borussia Dortmund: The team from the Ruhrpott is more confident today than at the same time last year. A Kovac team is also less likely to spark a debate about the attitude of the players. But now the results have to start coming again.

This is how Dortmund last played!

The best sports betting strategy naturally looks at the results of both clubs. That's why we continue with BVB and here even more specifically with the 3:3 at home against VfB Stuttgart. Dortmund only conceded the equalizer shortly before the end. The 1-1 draw at HSV was scored in the 97th minute by Königsdörffer. Another look back brings to light the 4-1 defeat at Manchester City. Before the Villarreal game, that was three games without a win in a row. Before that, there was the 1:0 at FC Augsburg and the 4:2 on penalties against Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB Cup (regular time: 1:1).
