Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig prediction
It has been a horrible month of October for Borussia Dortmund, especially in the past one week or so. After capitulating spectacularly in the 5-2 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League, they threw the lead again against Augsburg to lose 2-1 in the Bundesliga. This was followed by a midweek loss of 1-0 to Wolfsburg after extra time to knock them out of the DFB Pokal. This upcoming game has the potential to extend Dortmund’s misery if they don’t get their act together quickly.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, will be very happy with their recent performances, with 4 wins in their last 5 games. Domestically, they have won all their last 5 games in both competitions and are unbeaten in their last 5 Bundesliga games (4 wins and 1 draw). Leipzig will also get extra confidence from the fact that they beat Dortmund home and away in the league last season, and a repeat of the same doesn’t look far off at the moment.
Leipzig go into this game in a much better shape than Dortmund, who can be said to be having a mini crisis at the moment. As a result, we feel that Leipzig have a stong chance of getting a positive result here. Our Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig prediction is Double Chance – RB Leipzig or Draw.
