Red-hot Bayer Leverkusen will face a challenge of their title credentials when they face Borussia Dortmund this week. This Bundesliga matchday 13 will be played at the BayArena on Sunday. The hosts are top of the table with 34 points ahead of this round, while the visitors are 4th with 24 points. Leverkusen have dropped points only once in this league campaign but Bayern are breathing down their neck, only two points behind. That rules out any thoughts of dropping the guard as a defeat could be immensely hurting. They have form on their side, defeating Haecken in Europa League 2-0 in their last game. That was a 14th straight win in all competitions. In fact, they drawn just once in all competitions this season, which came in a 2-2 draw against Bayern.

Dortmund are only a point above Leipzig in the top-four race while Stuttgart remain three points ahead. They are coming off a win as well, defeating AC Milan 3-1 in the midweek Champions League match. That made it consecutive wins for the first time since the last week of October. It is their league form that must be giving jitters as Dortmund have won just once across their last four matches. Two wins and a draw in that sequence has seen them tumble down the standings. Results have been all over the place on the road as well, with Dortmund winning two, drawing two and losing one of their last five away league matches. One common factor across their performances is the scoring record with Dortmund netting at least three goals in three of their last four away Bundesliga games.
