Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig

It is second against third as Borussia Dortmund welcome RB Leipzig to the Signal Iduna Park for a German Bundesliga fixture.

Both teams are enjoying a solid start to the season, but the hosts are unbeaten so far. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who have a poor record in the big games.

Borussia Dortmund News

Borussia Dortmund are enjoying life under Niko Kovac and are unbeaten across all competitions this season. They have won four of their five Bundesliga matches and look like real genuine challengers to Bayern Munich, sitting two points off the pace.

Die Schwarzgelben come into this clash off the back of a 4-1 home victory over Athletic Bilbao in the UEFA Champions League. That was a solid follow-up to the 2-0 win at Mainz in their previous Bundesliga fixture.

Serhou Guirassy is enjoying another stellar campaign at Borussia Dortmund and has scored six goals across all competitions already. The striker leads an attack that has scored the opening goal in the last five matches in all competitions.

RB Leipzig News

RB Leipzig also have reasons to be pleased with their campaign so far, as they are keeping close tabs on the top two. They have picked up four wins from five Bundesliga matches, leaving them third in the table, three points off the pace.

Ole Werner’s team travel to the Signal Iduna Park after a 1-0 away victory at Wolfsburg last time out in the Bundesliga. Johan Bakayoko struck the only goal early in the first half, and they were able to hold on for the win.

While things have gone well for RB Leipzig this season, they still appear to find things difficult in the big games. They began their Bundesliga campaign with a disappointing 6-0 defeat at Bayern Munich.

Head to Head

Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have nine wins each and two draws in the last 20 matches. Both teams won at home last season, with the hosts winning 2-1 before suffering a 2-0 away defeat in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Borussia Dortmund v RB Leipzig

Borussia Dortmund are playing with confidence at the moment and are unbeaten across all competitions so far. They should have the upper hand over RB Leipzig, who have already suffered a heavy defeat to Bayern Munich this season.

The hosts have opened the scoring in their last five matches and could be set for a repeat. Guirassy was on target in this fixture last season and could be backed to add to his six goals across all competitions this term.
