RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions

• RB Leipzig have won five of their last six meetings with Borussia Dortmund
• Both teams have scored in seven of the last nine meetings
• Lois Openda has scored 23 goals in 30 league appearance for RB Leipzig this season

Red Bulls are on the charge

The race for the top four is hotting up in the Bundesliga and RB Leipzig host Borussia Dortmund this weekend looking to cling on to the coveted fourth spot that brings Champions League riches.

Dortmund are two points adrift of the Red Bulls in fifth spot, but they have a poor recent record against their hosts, and they have a huge distraction on the horizon.

That comes in the form of a Champions League semi-final first leg showdown with Paris St-Germain on Wednesday, and it is safe to assume that Edin Terzic’s side may have more than one eye on that mammoth clash.

With that in mind, a home win is our main prediction, but we also predict that the visitors can get on the scoresheet, too.

It was 3-2 to Leipzig when these two last met in December, while both teams have scored in seven of the last nine meetings.

RB have kept just three clean sheets in their last nine outings and they may struggle to hold BVB at bay, so a 3-1 home is the prediction for correct score punters.

Openda to maintain his hot streak

RB Leipzig forward Lois Openda is third in the Bundesliga scoring charts this season with 23 goals so out prediction for him to get on the scoresheet again at the Red Bull Arena makes plenty of sense.

The Belgian has plundered 27 goals in all competitions, and he has scored four in his last three outings, so back him to continue his hot streak this weekend.
