However I don't see it being a big problem for Leverkusen even though facing Dortmund will put a little more pressure on them and I'm sure Xabi Alonso understands the team's need to beat them. A draw would be much better even though it would benefit Bayern Munich because then Leverkusen could continue to approach Bayern Munich's points. Bayern Munich must indeed be wary of Leverkusen because their spirit is still quite strong as a candidate for the previous season's champion and they will certainly try to defend the title by any means and this will give Leverkusen a little confidence.
Actually, the one who will be more under pressure for the match is the host, Dortmund, because Bayer Leverkusen will still try their best to win in the away match. Moreover, Leverkusen is currently only four points behind the top of the Bundesliga standings so Leverkusen will do their best to get full points at Dortmund's home. In addition, Dortmund this season has not been very consistent in winning matches so Leverkusen will take advantage of this when they come to Dortmund's home.
