Bundesliga 2025-2026: Borussia Dortmund – Bayer Leverkusen, the likely lineups

The Bundesliga has reached its 29th day: it begins Friday at 8:30 p.m. with Augsburg-Hoffenheim. Scheduled for Saturday are Borussia Dortmund-Leverkusen, Heidenheim-Union Berlin, RB Leipzig-Mönchengladbach and Wolfsburg-Frankfurt, all at 3:30 p.m., while at 6:30 p.m. St. Pauli hosts top-ranked Bayern, which by winning in Madrid with Real took a big step forward in the Champions League.

Sunday rounds out the round with three more matches starting at 3 p.m.30 with Cologne-Bremen, a match between two far-from-quiet teams, and then continue with Stuttgart-Hamburg at 5:30 p.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. with Mainz-Freiburg, two teams that are in the belly of the standings and thus still have little to ask for.

Probable lineups

Borussia Dortmund (3-4-2-1) Kobel; Schlotterbeck, Anton, Bensebaini; Ryerson, Sabitzer, Bellingham, Svensson; Brandt, Adeyemi; Guirassy.
Bayer Leverkusen (3-4-2-1) Flekken; Tapsoba, Andrich, Badé; Culbreath, Fernandez, Aleix Garcia, Alex Grimaldo; Tillman, Maza; Schick.
