Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 08/09/2022, 22:13  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions

It has been a tough season for Leipzig so far and they will be looking to ease things a bit when they host Borussia Dortmund in the sixth round of matches in the Bundesliga. Leipzig go into this game placed 11th with five points and Dortmund are second with 12 points. The hosts are coming from a 4-1 loss at home to Shakhtar Donetsk on a night that saw Domenico Tedesco sacked after a poor start to the campaign. They didn’t waste time in naming the replacement; the man taking charge is a former Borussia Dortmund manager, Marco Rose and it will be interesting to see how he works this out against his former employers. Leipzig have conceded eight goals in the last two games, and in Bundesliga action, they have just one win in five matches. They have one clean sheet in five league matches while they have conceded two or more goals in three of five league games.

As Leipzig suffered at home in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund cruised to a 3-0 win at home to FC Copenhagen in the same competition. That was their third straight win and also a third straight clean sheet. They go into this game with four wins in their last five matches and have fully recovered from their shock loss to Werder Bremen. Borussia Dortmund have won four of their opening five league games and will go into this one with their focus fixed on three points, which could take them clear on top of the standings. They have scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches and they should be good value for three points here. Dortmund are still without new signing Sebastien Haller but so far have done well without the forward.
