Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full Time Result – Borussia Dortmund to Win – 2.50
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Borussia Dortmund to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 1.91
Borussia Dortmund to Win
The hosts are facing a very good RB Leipzig side here, but if we break things down, the home efforts of BVB this season are superior to the travelling efforts of the visitors, who somewhat unfortunately, are missing two key players. The hosts have done a better job of scoring goals at home than Leipzig have on the road, while they have a more impressive habit of creating more than they concede. Dortmund’s average expected goal difference at home is a very healthy +0.83, which makes Leipzig’s travelling xG difference of +0.19 look unappealing. For my money, this makes the home win look incredibly appealing at odds of 2.50.
Dortmund to Score Over 1.5 Goals
Rarely is the price of two or more home goals at Signal Iduna Park anywhere near 2.00, so this is not an opportunity to be missed, particularly since Rose’s men have scored an average of 3.07 goals per home game. They’ve also scored two or more in every game that they’ve played against a top-half team at home this season.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig
Borussia Dortmund’s assault on the Bundesliga title was halted somewhat last time out, as they were held to a draw by FC Koln. Having failed to register three points for the second time in four matches, BVB now find themselves six points behind league leaders Bayern Munich, and their task is now a tremendously difficult one.
Though it’s looking increasingly likely that Bayern will retain their title, In terms of overall form, Borussia Dortmund are in fine shape right now. They’re unbeaten in six, four of which they’ve won, while they’ve also won seven of their last ten in the league, only one of which they’ve lost. Marco Rose’s men also have a reasonably strong home record having won four of their last five at Signal Iduna Park, as well as eight of their last ten.
The RB Leipzig boys also had their momentum stunted last time out, as they failed to find a way to get the better of a dogged Eintracht Frankfurt side, a side that became the first to stop Domenico Tedesco’s men scoring in 2022. The visitors have now won just one of their last three.
However, Saturday’s travellers have lots of positive recent away form to draw upon. They’ve won each of their last three away games, scoring a staggering 13 goals in the process. OK, they have faced weak opposition, but such efforts should mean that they travel to Dortmund feeling confident. They also have their 2-1 win in the reverse fixture to keep their spirits high.
