Dortmund – RB Leipzig : Preview & Prediction
Borussia Dortmund have the best streak in the last 5 days (4 wins and 1 loss) and even in the last 10 league games (7 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses). Suffice to say that Terzic’s training ends this 2020-2021 season in a cannonball and is more than ever in the race to qualify for the next Champions League. The current 5th in the championship is only 1 unit from 4th place (last ticket for C1) and 2 lengths from a place on the podium (Wolfsburg is 3rd). The partners of Haaland (25 goals) are on a strong dynamic and they have just won their last 4 outings against Werder Bremen (4-1), against Union Berlin (2-0), in Wolfsburg (2- 0) and ahead of Holstein Kiel (5-0) in the semi-final of the German Cup. BVB 09, which has the 2nd best attack in Germany (66 goals), has regained defensive strength, keeping its clean sheet in its last three meetings. Rested last weekend in the Cup, the Norwegian international Haaland, author of 4 goals in the last 3 days, could stand out against this team from Leipzig in order to help his club to qualify for the next C1 .
Leipzig, for its part, lost its title dreams because the latter is 7 lengths behind Bayern Munich while there are only 9 points to be taken. RB Leipzig is 99.9% guaranteed to end up in C1 next season and Poulsen’s partners (5 goals) should end this 2020-2021 exercise in freewheeling mode. The team trained by Nagelsmann will meet again with Dormund 5 days after this meeting in the final of the German Cup at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. This is why the current 2nd in the Bundesliga could leave some executives at rest this weekend to save themselves for the final and try to win this trophy, the first title in its history. Hanging on by Hoffenheim (0-0) then defeated in Cologne (2-1), Leipzig had reacted better during its last two performances by winning Stuttgart (2-0) in the league and leaving in pain Werder Bremen (2- 1 ap) in the semi-final of the German Cup on April 30 thanks to a goal from Forsberg at the very end of extra time (120th + 1). There is a good chance that Leipzig will face a dead end on this trip to Signal Iduna Park to keep strength and freshness for this German Cup final against BVB 09 scheduled for May 13.
Borussia Dortmund are on an ongoing streak of 4 straight wins.
BVB 09 has been undefeated for 6 games (4 wins and 2 draws) against Leipzig.
Borussia Dortmund won the first leg by a score of 3-1.
Leipzig lost their last away match in the Bundesliga in Cologne (2-1).
BVB 09 could enter the Top 4 if they win and position themselves well for a place in the Champions League next season.
The stakes are high for Dortmund who are aiming for a qualification in the Champions League … BVB 09 should be able to take the 3 points in front of Leipzig, which will have its head turned towards the final of the German Cup.
