Match preview
RB Leipzig hosts Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday at the Red Bull Arena. Dortmund could move up to top spot with a win over Leipzig this weekend.
The visitors could move to the top of the Bundesliga table with a victory, while the hosts who have only picked up five points from their first five matches, leading to them sacking their manager could revitalise their season with a victory.
RB Leipzig are in 11th place in the Bundesliga standings and have not been at their best this season. The home side suffered a 4-1 defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk this week in the Champions League and will need to bounce back in this match.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive this season.
The Ruhr Valley giants eased past Copenhagen by a 3-0 scoreline in their last time out in the Champions League and will look to achieve a similar result against Leipzig.
