Fortuna Dusseldorf vs RB Leipzig Predictions

• RB Leipzig have scored over 2.5 goals in each of their last five Bundesliga games.
• Fortuna Dusseldorf have conceded over 2.5 goals in three of their last four Bundesliga games.
• RB Leipzig have won each of their last five Bundesliga fixtures.
• Fortuna have only won two of their last 13 Bundesliga fixtures.

In-form Leipzig take on struggling Fortuna

RB Leipzig are set to travel to Dusseldorf to face Fortuna this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Leipzig have won each of their last five Bundesliga games. They will be hoping to earn their sixth straight Bundesliga against an out-of-form Fortuna side. 

Fortuna have lost eight of their last 13 Bundesliga games, winning just two. They have failed to get a win in any of their last four Bundesliga games. They will have a tough task attempting to earn a result versus second-placed Leipzig.

Fortuna’s recent form has been poor enough to see them drop to 16th place in the Bundesliga table. Leipzig have lost just three of their last 30 Bundesliga games. We feel they are unlikely to slip up in Saturday’s game. 

Leipzig in prolific form

Leipzig have been terrifying opposition defences in recent weeks. They have scored 22 goals in their last five Bundesliga games. They are currently the Bundesliga’s highest-scoring team, with a total of 39 goals scored in 14 games this season. 

Leipzig are also the Bundesliga’s top scorers away from home, having scored 19 goals in seven away games. Leipzig have scored over 2.5 goals in each of their last five Bundesliga games. We feel there is a strong chance they will score over 2.5 goals again this Saturday. 

Fortuna conceding heavily recently

Fortuna have played Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in recent weeks. Bayern are currently the Bundesliga’s second-highest scoring team behind Leipzig. Meanwhile, Dortmund are the Bundesliga’s third-highest scoring team at present. 

Fortuna suffered heavy defeats in both those games. They lost 4-0 to Bayern and lost 5-0, just last week, versus Dortmund. These results will not give Fortuna’s defence confidence heading into Saturday’s game and we feel they are likely to suffer another heavy defeat in this game. Fortuna have conceded over 2.5 goals in three of their last four Bundesliga games so we are backing Leipzig to score over 2.5 goals in this fixture. 

Leipzig have scored four goals in two of their last four Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Fortuna have currently got the Bundesliga’s joint-worst home goalscoring record. We feel Leipzig have a good chance of equalling Bayern’s 4-0 win over Fortuna this Saturday, so are predicting a correct score of 4-0 win to Leipzig.
