Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Prediction
Borussia Dortmund are second in the league and are on the same amount of points as league leaders Bayern Munich. Edin Terzic's side have hit a rich vein of form, and with Bayern Munich not at their dominant best right now, Borussia Dortmund might be sniffing an opportunity for a title charge.
Having sold the likes of Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho after impressive seasons at the club, Borussia Dortmund now look likely to earn a hefty profit from the sale of Jude Bellingham. The 19-year old is regarded as one of the best young players in the world and has attracted interest from clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, are fourth in the league, four points behind Borussia Dortmund. They have done well under the management of Marco Rose, but like Borussia Dortmund, they are expected to lose players in the summer.
Konrad Laimer is expected to join Bayern Munich and Christopher Nkunku appears to be on his way to Chelsea, while the likes of Josko Gvardiol are likely to leave for big money as well.
Borussia Dortmund are in a good run of form and should win this game.
