After being in very good form,RB Leipzig take on at home Borussia Dortmund to continue their quest to threaten Bayern Munich’s lead at the Bundesliga table.Leipzig are 2nd with 31 points and Dortmund are 4th with 25 points.
RB Leipzig
With just one defeat this season in an away game in Monchengladbach back in October,Leipzig look a very stable side coming into this game.Although they lost crucial points in Koln before the Christmas short break,Manager Julian Nagelsmann’s team bounced back and beat Stuttgart in a tough away game last week and were able to keep the pressure on league leaders Bayern Munich who travel to Monchengladbach in a match where the Leipzigers will wish for Bayern the same fate as they had.It is important to note Leipzig’s vigilant defence who have conceded just 9 goals in the League so far this season, the least in the league.
Dortmund
With Erling Haaland back from injury,Dortmund are a different team offensively.With ten goals already this season Haaland will be a big threat to Leipzig’s tough defence.Dortmund have been unstable in their last five matches but a 2-0 win in their last match against Wolfsburg will make manager Edin Terzic a more optimistic man going into this match.The eight time Bundesliga champions are always playing to be title contenders and they have a big test to show that against Leipzig.
Verdict
Double chance home win or draw
