Title: Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund Clash in Top Bundesliga Encounter
Werkself's Momentum and BVB's Champions League Triumph Collide
Bundesliga's main event is here! Bayer Leverkusen, riding a wave of success, clinched a spot in the Europa League's last 16 on Thursday. The 2-0 triumph against Sweden's BK Häcken sealed group victory and secured early progression for Xabi Alonso's group (42).
Former Borussia Dortmund star, Jonas Hofmann, expressed his confidence in their opponents, sharing that "it'll be tough for them." However, Alonso remained cautious, recognizing the challenge and quality of Dortmund's team, coach, and atmosphere.
Good news for Leverkusen fans: Florian Wirtz (20) could make his return to action against Dortmund after recovering from muscular issues. Alonso revealed on Friday that "he's feeling much better" but they're "still waiting a bit, but we're optimistic." If Leverkusen triumphs, they'd secure a 13-point lead over the second place.
Dortmund has its tailwind, too. They secured Champions League progression on Tuesday after beating AC Milan 3-1. The team's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, noted that they're "on the right track."
