Borussia Dortmund are riding a wave of momentum into their third clash of the season with Bayer Leverkusen. The Black & Yellows have been the Bundesliga's form team since the winter break, collecting a league-best 28 points from their last eleven matches. Their dramatic, last-gasp 2-0 victory over Stuttgart last weekend extended their winning streak to four games, a run powered by an explosive attack that has scored at least twice in 14 consecutive league matches.

This remarkable second-half surge has seen BVB lose just twice in 28 matchdays, a feat not achieved since the 1965/66 season. While the goals have flowed—60 so far, second only to Bayern Munich—the defense has been equally impressive. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel leads the league with 13 clean sheets, providing the rock-solid foundation for Dortmund's charge.

They face a familiar foe in Bayer Leverkusen, who sit sixth in the table. The Werkself are in strong form themselves, unbeaten in six and coming off a thrilling 6-3 win over Wolfsburg. This will be the third chapter in this season's trilogy; Dortmund took the first two, winning 2-1 in the Bundesliga in November and 1-0 in the DFB Cup just three days later.

For the rematch, Dortmund will be without the suspended Karim Adeyemi, while key players like Emre Can and Felix Nmecha remain sidelined. Despite the absences, the team's current confidence and relentless scoring form make this a must-watch fixture as they aim to continue their dominant second-half narrative and complete a season sweep over a dangerous Leverkusen side.
