Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig betting tips and odds

Borussia Dortmund have had a brilliant start to the year, winning all their games across all competitions so far. The BVB have played seven league games within this period and recorded seven wins, the last of which was a 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim last weekend.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, might not have a 100 percent record this year, but they have also had a good year so far and bagged an important 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend.

Karim Adeyemi joins a long list of injuries for Dortmund and will miss this clash alongside Julien Duranville, Youssoufa Moukoko, Abdoulaye Kamara, and Mateu Morey, who will all remain out for some weeks.

Leipzig will be without Abdou Diallo, Peter Gulasci, and Dani Olmo due to injuries, while Konrad Laimer is suspended due to an accumulation of cards.

Dortmund have been unstoppable in 2023, and it’s hard to look past a Dortmund win for this one. The BVB have a 100 percent win rate this year, and this is not for a lack of worthy opponents. Dortmund have won eight of their 10 home league games this season, while Leipzig are sixth in away points this season. 

This fixture has historically been one that produces a high number of goals. The last six meetings between these teams have produced over 2.5 goals, and the trend is expected to continue on Friday night. Six of Leipzig’s last eight games have produced over 2.5 goals, while Dortmund’s last six home games in the Bundesliga have produced over 2.5 goals.

We are backing both teams to find the net, as they have been prolific in front of goal this season. Both teams have scored in seven of Leipzig’s nine games, while both teams have scored in Dortmund’s last three home games in the Bundesliga. Both teams have also scored in five of the last six head-to-head meetings between these teams.
