The highlight of the Bundesliga round. Dortmund are in exceptional form with four consecutive league wins, most recently a 2-0 victory at Stuttgart. Leverkusen produced one of the season's most iconic performances — a 6-3 victory over Wolfsburg last weekend — to end their recent draw streak in emphatic fashion.

Nine of the last 10 Bundesliga meetings between these sides have featured goals at both ends. Dortmund have confirmed their status as Bayern's most credible challengers; Leverkusen, bouncing back with authority, arrive at Signal Iduna Park looking to dent that momentum and stake their own claim for a top-four place.

Leipzig prevailed clinically in Bremen on Matchday 28, continuing their push for Champions League football. Their pressing style and transition game make them difficult to face at the Red Bull Arena.

Gladbach have not won on the road in all of 2026 — a remarkable away form collapse that makes Leipzig at home firm favourites. This is the kind of fixture where Gladbach's defensive fragility away from home could be exploited by Leipzig's high-energy pressing.

Bayern have just advanced to the Champions League semi-finals following their win in Madrid. Now they face a trip to St. Pauli, who are fighting for Bundesliga survival. The Millerntor is a notoriously hostile and compact ground — but Bayern achieved only one clean sheet in their last 10 away games while winning eight of them.

In four of the last five meetings between these sides, both teams scored. St. Pauli's desperation and the Millerntor atmosphere are their weapons; Bayern's depth — Lennart Karl scored a late winner at Freiburg on Matchday 28 — confirms their clinical edge even when rotating. Kompany will manage his Champions League commitments carefully.
