RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction 27.04.2024

• Competition: Bundesleague
• Date: 27.04.2024
• Kickoff: 14:30 UTC +1 / 15:30 CEST
• Venue: Red Bull Arena (Leipzig)

The derby of the 31st round of the Bundesliga will be played in Leipzig. The home team will welcome Dortmund and this could easily be the deciding match for the placement in the Champions League next season.

At the moment, Leipzig has 2 points more than its rivals. They won 5 of their last 6 matches and it was this good form that brought them this position. Leipzig generally has a much better second half of the season. In the last round, they won a difficult away game against Heidenheim 2-1 and thus confirmed the good results from earlier

Dortmund is having a sensational season in the Champions League as they reached the semi-finals of this competition and will be playing to reach the final against PSG. On the other hand, they are in 5th place in the Bundesliga and will have to overtake Leipzig if they want to be in the elite next season. Of course, the second chance is for them to win the Champions League, but they are the biggest underdog in the top 4.

Leipzig vs Dortmund pick: DORTMUND DOUBLE CHANCE X2

Leipzig have lost twice this season at home, while Dortmund are the second best away team behind new champions Leverkusen, with only one defeat in 15 matches played. On the wings of a great victory against Atletico Madrid, Dortmund can offer a lot against such a strong rival. Leipzig is the favorite according to the bookies, but our opinion is that they may be a bit overrated because Dortmund is a strong competitive team with great success this season. We expect a slight initiative from the home team and maybe a few more chances to score, but Dortmund should not lose here.

A double chance for guests seems like a reasonable solution
