=10.5ptLeipzig are in the Europa League and as such their season started earlier and they have already played six competitive matches while for Dortmund, this will only be the second game, after the extra time win over Greuther Furth. Leipzig haven’t lost any of their last four matches, which will make this an encounter worth following and the fact that they managed to break Dortmund’s long unbeaten run at home in the last meeting between the two sides offers more intrigue to this clash as the hosts will be looking to avenge this as well. Dortmund head to the game on two wins a draw and two losses. They will need some improvement in their home form, having managed a win, two losses and two draws in their last five, scoring six and conceding eight. They were not the strongest of finishers in the Bundesliga last season, with three losses in the last five and four in 11, with just one clean sheet in the last five league matches. However, they were fairly stronger at home, picking four wins in five and losing just one and winning six in 10. In their last five league games at home, Dortmund managed 12 goals and conceded four. They take on a Leipzig side fresh from an away draw with Zorya in Ukraine but unbeaten in four. The visitors have however won one and drawn four of their last five matches, scoring seven and conceding five. They have one loss in 11 matches and three clean sheets in the last 10 outings. They carry a seven match unbeaten run which has three wins and four draws and they will be hoping to improve defensively when they head to this match as they have managed just two clean sheets in 15 away matches in the league. They have five wins in 15 Bundesliga games away from home and perhaps that is also an area they will want to improve on. The two sides have met four times in history and only one of the four has produced over 2.5 goals. Leipzig have beaten Dortmund twice and Dortmund have won once in this fixture.
