Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Prediction
Borussia Dortmund are second in the league and are on the same amount of points as league leaders Bayern Munich. Edin Terzic’s side have hit a rich vein of form, and with Bayern Munich not at their dominant best right now, Borussia Dortmund might be sniffing an opportunity for a title charge.
Having sold the likes of Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho after impressive seasons at the club, Borussia Dortmund now look likely to earn a hefty profit from the sale of Jude Bellingham. The 19-year old is regarded as one of the best young players in the world and has attracted interest from clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool.
Borussia Dortmund are in a good run of form and should win this game.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 RB Leipzig

Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Team News
Dortmund will remain without Karem Adeyemi, who injured his thigh after scoring for the third successive league game during a recent victory against Hertha Berlin.
Likewise, Julien Duranville, Youssoufa Moukoko, Abdoulaye Kamara and Mateu Morey are all expected to remain sidelined until later this month.
Julian Ryerson missed out against Hoffenheim last weekend due to an eye issue, but the right-back could return to his side’s starting XI on Friday, having impressed since joining from Union Berlin in the January transfer window.
Terzic’s main selection dilemma may prove to be whether to start with two or three conventional central midfielders, with the 40-year-old likely to err on the side of caution and bring Salih Ozcan into the team at the expense of Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.
Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Lineups
Borussia Dortmund:
Kobel; Ryerson, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Ozcan, Can, Bellingham; Brandt, Haller, Reus
RB Leipzig:
Blaswich; Henrichs, Orban, Gvardiol, Halstenberg; Kampl, Schlager; Szoboszlai, Forsberg, Werner; Nkunku
Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Odds
We say: Borussia Dortmund 1-1 RB Leipzig
Friday’s trip to Dortmund represents more of a must-not-lose fixture than a must-win one for Leipzig, who can not afford to slip seven points behind their title rivals at this latter stage of the season.
With Nkunku likely to return to their starting XI, there is every chance that Rose can inflict revenge on his former club, but given the amount at stake, we can envisage a relatively cagey encounter and a share of the spoils as the most likely outcome.
