Borussia Dortmund - RB Leipzig predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

While RB Leipzig may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.93 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The hosts are presumably looking to avoid the messy disappointment they displayed in the previous round. They were the away team in that bout, but pre-match betting odds priced their victory at 4.14. The fact that the first half ended inconclusively was already a letdown – but things only went downhill from there, ultimately ending with Borussia Dortmund losing 2:1.

RB Leipzig won their previous Bundesliga home game 3:1 after a lot of back-and-forth with Freiburg, their opponents. Despite the favourable matchup, even the most stalwart of fans started to question their form after the rocky first half. In the second half, however, their dominance was clear.

Team from Dortmund have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

You may want to look at Team from Leipzig as good candidates for markets like BTTS bets or Over 5 Goals. They have more than 5 goals on record from their previous 3 games alone.

The closest goal for Borussia Dortmund currently is to try and move up to a Europa League qualifying spot. Though we’re still early in the season, this match is a notable obstacle standing in their way.

RB Leipzig fans are hoping the squad will be able to continue their successful streak as the season moves forward. The first few rounds brought them to the 2nd place on the table. However, this match in Signal-Iduna-Park will be quite challenging and keeping up the pace until the end of the season even more so.

Taking a quick at the recent history of these two teams and their clashes, the line between favourites and underdogs becomes a bit blurred. Team from Dortmund lost one of these games last season with a painfully large goal difference, yet they’re widely regarded as the favourites to win the match on Saturday.

The visitors’ status as underdogs is further made worse by the exceptionally high number of injuries going into this match. Péter Gulácsi, Xaver Schlager, Loïs Openda, Nicolas Seiwald, Xavi Simons will all be unable to play at Signal-Iduna-Park, so think twice before putting down any bets.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1 odds offered at 1xbet.
