Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Preview & Prediction

Match preview

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to earn their 10th straight victory across all competitions and take the lead in the Bundesliga standings when they host Leipzig.

If Leipzig wins at Signal Iduna Park, they might gain one point on their rivals and Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

With a 1-0 victory over struggling Hoffenheim on the road last weekend, Dortmund continued their unbeaten run since returning from the World Cup. Julian Brandt’s goal in the 43rd minute was enough to keep Dortmund level on points with Bayern at the top of the league.

Dortmund, meanwhile, will travel to London on Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League match against Chelsea in an effort to hold onto a 1-0 advantage and advance to the elite eight of the continent’s premier championship.

Terzic and his team could not be more confident going into their next two crucial games, which are crucial in their quest to show that this season won’t be another false dawn for the Yellow Wall. They have won each of their previous nine games.

After coming from behind to tie Manchester City 1-1 in the first leg of their last-16 match, Leipzig’s victory put them back in the Champions League qualification spots.

It will surely be challenging for Leipzig to advance against the English champions at the Etihad Stadium later this month, but it would be folly to write them off given that the setback to Union Berlin is still their sole loss in their past 22 games.

On Friday night, they have a good opportunity of ending Dortmund’s recent winning streak, especially as Rose is expected to be even more motivated than usual to defeat his former team.

Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig prediction

There is a potential that Rose can exact revenge on his previous team because Nkunku is expected to return to their starting lineup, but considering the stakes, we should expect a cagey match with a split of the spoils as the most likely result.
