On November 29, 2025, at the BayArena in Leverkusen, there will be a match of the 12th round of the Bundesliga, where Bayer and Borussia Dortmund will meet. The kickoff is scheduled for 19:30 Kyiv time.

The Bayer team has been missing a brief but impressive period under the management of Xabi Alonso, which brought the club a double in the 2023/2024 season. However, the coaching staff changed, and new coach Julmand managed to elevate the team to third place in the standings with 23 points, trailing only RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich. Nevertheless, Bayer suffered a heavy defeat of 2:7 against PSG in the Champions League, but in their last match against Manchester City, the team demonstrated an outstanding performance, winning 2:0.

On the other hand, the Borussia Dortmund team also went through a period of uncertainty, replacing coach Nuri Sahin with Niko Kovac, who managed to bring the club back to fourth place in the Bundesliga. However, recent games have been less successful, with several draws, including against Cologne and Stuttgart. In the Champions League, Borussia lost 1:4 to Manchester City, but in their last match, they achieved a convincing victory of 4:0 over Villarreal with a brace from Girassi.
