Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen: Preview, predictions and lineups

Borussia Dortmund welcome newly crowned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen to Signal Iduna Park for a heavyweight Sunday afternoon clash.

Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen sealed a first-ever Bundesliga title by spanking Werder Bremen 5-0 last weekend, maintaining their remarkable unbeaten run. They then survived a scare against West Ham United in the Europa League on Thursday, booking their place in the semi-finals of the competition.

Dortmund also enjoyed great success in midweek, overcoming Diego Simeone's stoic Atletico Madrid to unexpectedly reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. Eden Terzic's side are, however, languishing in fifth in the Bundesliga after some serious inconsistency results wise.

Borussia Dortmund's huge win over Atletico Madrid in midweek boosted their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League, but a place in the Bundesliga top four is what's really needed.

Facing the unbeaten league leaders is probably the last thing Dortmund need, and they'll have to get the job done without the suspended Karim Adeyemi, who saw red in their last three outing
