RB Leipzig vs Dortmund Match Preview

RB Leipzig is ranked at second spot with 31 points and comes unbeaten over the last five matches with three wins and two draws. In fact, they are the team with the fewest losses in the league, after Bayern Munich suffered a defeat in their last game. This could be a golden chance for them, not only to extend their unbeaten streak, but also grab the first spot from their rivals in case of a win.

They have scored 25 goals in 14 matches while in the last five matches scored a total of seven goals averaging more than a goal per game. Worth mentioning that 3-3 draw against Bayern Munich where they were leading for most of the time.

For this duel they will have some absences as the new signing Szoboszlai is injured alongside Nkunku, Mukiele, Laimer, Konate, Kuivert, Henrichs, and Hartmann. But their offensive trio should be playing from the start as Olmo-Forsberg-Poulsen has combined for nine goals and eight assists together.

Dortmund, on the other hand, is ranked at 4th place with 25 points and comes in a bad form after two wins a draw, and two losses over the last five matches. Sacking their coach still has not improved them drastically as they got two wins and a loss under Terzic.

With 28 goals scored until now still they have one of the best offensive sides in the league averaging at least two goals per game and in the last five duels, they scored a total of seven goals averaging at least a goal per game despite the difficult situation.

The good news is that Haaland is back and after gaining some game time in the previous match I think he could be of big help for them now.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. RB Leipzig plays a crucial game for their title hopes as they can jump first and their only goal here will be to attack and score as early as possible. Dortmund sees themselves already eight points behind first place and they will have to aim for a win too here. Nine out of 14 matches played this season from Dortmund had over 2.5 goals.
