Where to Watch Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga for Free?

The dethroned Bundesliga titleholders, Bayer Leverkusen, are set to host Borussia Dortmund at BayArena this Sunday for their penultimate match of the season. Currently sitting in second place, Leverkusen boosted their point total to 68 following a 2-2 draw with Freiburg on May 4. However, this result secured the championship for Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Dortmund, who are fifth with 51 points, still have a chance to qualify for the Champions League.

Leverkusen has achieved three clean sheets in their last five games, but they managed to score only six goals during this period, compared to the eight they scored in their prior three matches. Fans received disappointing news on Friday regarding head coach Xabi Alonso’s departure from the club at the end of the season, as he is strongly rumored to be heading to Real Madrid.

Leverkusen previously defeated Dortmund 3-2 in their league encounter on January 10, but that win marks their only victory over Dortmund in the last five meetings, with two losses in that time. Alonso’s team remains unbeaten in their last five matches, although they were held to three draws during this stretch. Their recent home performances have been inconsistent, earning two wins and one draw in their last three games at BayArena, but also experiencing two losses and a draw in the three matches prior.

Head coach Niko Kovac will be pleased with his team’s offensive output, as they have found the back of the net 12 times in four matches, despite conceding five goals in that schedule. Dortmund currently occupies the Europa League position but is just one point behind Freiburg in fourth, who hold the final Champions League spot.

The Black and Yellows enter Sunday’s matchup on a high note, having won four matches in a row in all competitions, and they’ve claimed five wins out of the last six Bundesliga games, with one draw. Their away form, however, has not been very stable, featuring two victories, one draw, and two losses in their past five games away from home.

For Bayer Leverkusen, defenders Jeanuel Belocian, Mario Hermoso, and Nordi Mukiele are sidelined due to injury, but key players Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah, and Piero Hincapie are fit to play. Granit Xhaka has been instrumental in Alonso’s achievements in Germany, and the coach is expected to include him in midfield alongside Aleix Garcia. Forward Florian Wirtz is almost certain to feature, potentially partnering with Emiliano Buendia and Patrik Schick in the attack.

Dortmund has only two significant absences, with center-back Nico Schlotterbeck not returning until October and forward Maximilian Beier expected to be back shortly after the season concludes in late May. Kovac has favored a back three during his tenure and may opt for Niklas Sule, Waldemar Anton, and Ramy Bensebaini in defense. Striker Serhou Guirassy aims to increase his goal tally of 32 across all competitions, though he could rely heavily on the support from Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi.
