RB Leipzig Borussia Dortmund betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of goals from both sides. RB Leipzig have scored at least 2 goals in the last four home games, but the defense has dropped a bit in yield in the latest rounds, while Borussia Dortmund have the competition's best attack, but have also encountered defensive difficulties in the latest away games. In addition, RB Leipzig's last two home games had goals from both sides and the same has occurred in the last 3 Borussia's away games. In view of these factors, we believe that the two teams create a good number of chances and score goals in this match.

Preview
RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund meet at Red Bull Arena, in a match for the 18th round of the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund got a home win by (4‑1), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 26‑08‑2018. The head‑to‑head record between these two teams couldn't be more balanced, since there were 1 draw and 2 wins for each team in the last 5 head‑to‑heads. RB Leipzig registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Leipzig

After 9 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, the home team is in the 4th position, havinf won 31 points so far. In the last match, they have won at home against Werder Bremen by (3‑2), after in the previous match they have lost (1‑0) an away match against Bayern München. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. They come to this match after a home draw against Galatasaray by (1‑1). For the league, RB Leipzig won 23 points out of 27 possible points, after 7 wins and 2 draws in the last 9 home matches.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 wins in the last home matches and they haven't lost any of the last 9 home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

RB Leipzig have been making a good campaign in the Bundesliga, but have been rather irregular in the last rounds and need to find their strength to remain strong in the qualification zone to the Champions League next season. The team has a reasonable attack that has scored 31 goals and is the sixth best of the competition, but its great asset is the enormous form of its defense that has only 17 goals and is less leaked, although it is worth mentioning that it conceded goals in the last 4 rounds. 
Playing at home, such as this Saturday's match, RB Leipzig tends to be quite strong, has the third best campaign in the league, is the second team that scored the most goals and the second that conceded the least goals in this type of situation, but its defense should find again its best form, since it was leaked in the last 2 matches in this type of situation. 
For the difficult clash with Borussia Dortmund, coach Rangnick will not be able to rely on midfielder Ilsanker, suspended and also with midfielder Demme, injured.

Analysis Dortmund

The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 42 points won, after 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Borussia M'gladbach, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 32 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 12 wins and 3 draws at their stadium, with 43 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Feyenoord by (2‑1). In the last 8 away league matches Borussia Dortmund has a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 17 points out of 24 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 4. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 18 of their 42 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Borussia Dortmund have been making a great campaign in the German Championship, have won 7 of their last eight matches and are looking for a positive result to keep the distance of 6 points for the second-placed Bayern Munich. The team has a solid defense that conceded 18 goals and is the second less leaked of the competition, but its great asset is the offensive power, since it is the team that scored the most goals with 44 goals scored, 8 more than the second best attack. 
Considering the away matches, such as this one on Saturday, Borussia Dortmund have the Bundesliga's second-best campaign and is the third team to score the most goals in this type of situation, worth noting that it scored goals in the last 7 games in this type of situation. 
For the confrontation with RB Leipzig, coach Lucien Favre has only in doubt the midfielder Gotze who recovers from injury and will only have his presence denied or confirmed a few moments before the match.
