Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig tips and predictions: Hosts turn to triumph in yo-yo rivalry

Borussia Dortmund will face a struggling RB Leipzig with only one point separating the two sides in the league table. The visitors currently occupy the final Champions League spot.

In superb form, Borussia qualified for the Champions League knockout stages before the final matchday, having emerged from a tough group that includes PSG, Milan, and Newcastle.

However, things aren’t going that well in the Bundesliga. The Black and Yellow are in fifth place in the league table with 25 points and have lost touch with league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Despite that, Dortmund are extremely strong at home and have only suffered one defeat at Signal Iduna Park this calendar year.

 

 

RB Leipzig currently sit 4th in the Bundesliga with 26 points. Even though they have one of the best defences in the league, the Bulls conceded a goal in each of their last 5 games.

Marco Rose’s team has qualified for the UCL knockout stages and is coming off a hard-fought 2-1 victory over newly promoted Heidenheim in their last match.

Dortmund vs Leipzig has become one of the most anticipated matchups in Germany in recent years. The two teams have traded wins in recent seasons, and there have been no draws since the 2019/2020 campaign.

In the last season, each team won the game played at their home ground. The last game between the two teams was in the DFB Pokal quarterfinals, where Leipzig won 2-0.
