On Saturday afternoon, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund clash at the Red Bull Arena in the Bundesliga in what could be a massive game in the fight for the Champions League spots.
RB Leipzig in strong form of lateA 2-1 win at Heidenheim last time out means that Marco Rose’s team are unbeaten in seven Bundesliga games, having recorded six wins and one draw in the run.
The main reason for Die Roten Bullen’s recent good results has been their attacking prowess, scoring at least two goals in all six recent Bundesliga victories.
Leipzig’s recent form has moved them into fourth place in the table, two points clear of the fifth-place visitors in the fight for a top-four finish.
Die Roten Bullen has a formidable recent home record in the German top flight. They are unbeaten in five home games, recording four wins and a draw.
Leipzig has been rock solid in defence on home soil in the Bundesliga, having kept five straight clean sheets.
Dortmund held new German champions last time outLast time out, BVB held new German champions Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 at Signal Iduna Park. The result means that Dortmund have now won five of their last seven games in the German top flight.
The draw against Bayer may have been a respectable result, but it saw Edin Terzic’s team fall behind Leipzig in the top-four race.
Dortmund have been prolific of late in the Bundesliga, scoring at least two goals in five of their last seven matches in the German top flight.
BVB are unbeaten in their last ten away games in the Bundesliga, having recorded four consecutive wins on their travels. They have also been potent on the road of late, scoring two goals in all four away wins.
What am I backing?Both teams are in decent form and this should be a highly entertaining clash. I believe it will be a high-scoring encounter, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
