After beating Lille in Europe last weekend, Borussia Dortmund will be looking to register successive wins for only the second time in ten matches when they take on RB Leipzig this weekend.
The hosts ended a two-game winless streak by beating Wolfsburg in the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal, but their last two games have been another poor run of form. They started the month of March with a 2-1 defeat to Mainz at this ground and were unable to beat SC Freiburg on the road last weekend, playing out a goalless draw.
Leipzig booked a place in the semi-finals of the German Cup with a 1:0 win over Wolfsburg last month but Die Roten Bullen have disappointed their fans in the last two matches. They started the month of March with a 2-1 defeat to Mainz at this ground and were unable to beat SC Freiburg on the road last weekend, playing out a goalless draw.
RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Bundesliga encounters between Leipzig and Dortmund are renowned for their entertaining nature. There have been 13 goals in the last three meetings alone and three or more goals in each of the last nine.
One of the reasons Borussia Dortmund are outside the top eight is their defence, especially away from home. The visitors have kept just one clean sheet in their last eleven away league games and seven of those encounters produced 3+ goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
