RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund

Red Bull Arena is the venue as RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund go head-to-head in a mouth-watering Bundesliga showdown.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s 94th-minute equalizer last time out left Leipzig broken-hearted despite stretching their unbeaten Bundesliga run to six matches (W3, D3). New manager Jesse Marsch has yet to find his feet in the new environment, but Leipzig’s home form can be a starting point, with ‘Die Roten Bullen’ racking up four wins from their opening five Bundesliga fixtures at the Red Bull Arena (L1). Notably, each of Leipzig’s four top-flight home victories this season has yielded a margin of 3+ goals, with three of them seeing the Saxons net over 3.5 overall goals. Though they’ve taken no prisoners en route to establishing themselves as a permanent top-four fixture in the Bundesliga in the past few years, Leipzig have often struggled against Dortmund, losing more league matches (6) versus this opponent than against any other side.

Unlike his Leipzig counterpart, Marco Rose has hit the ground running at Dortmund from day one. Only pacesetters Bayern Munich (25) have mustered up more Bundesliga points than ‘Die Borussen’ (24) after ten matchdays, with Dortmund heading into this encounter on the back of four straight league victories. Despite their impressive start to the season, the visitors have struggled for consistency away from home, alternating between triumph (2) and defeat (2) across their opening four Bundesliga road trips. Even though they’ve yet to play out a draw in Germany’s top-flight this term (W8, L2), Dortmund’s away fixtures have been notably tight, with three of their four Bundesliga travels yielding a full-time margin of a single goal. Only 29.63% of Dortmund’s Bundesliga goals scored this season have come on the road (8/27), which illustrates their lack of form on the road.
