Borussia Dortmund v RB Leipzig Stats & Analysis

This fixture has been one-sided down the years. Leipzig are without a win in their six top-flight meetings against Dortmund. They’ve scored an average of 1.1 goals per match and haven’t kept a clean sheet in any. Leipzig only have a worse record against Bayern.

And Dortmund come into this one on a good run of form. Caretaker manager Edin Terzic has his side playing some good football. Dortmund have won four straight Bundesliga matches under their temporary head coach. That’s their longest run this season.

Scoring goals has never been an issue for Dortmund. They’ve found the net in 29 consecutive Bundesliga matches. Only Bayern have a longer goalscoring streak than that. The difference-maker for Terzic has been at the other end of the pitch. Dortmund has conceded once in their last three matches. That’s their best defensive run since October 2020.

But Leipzig will be a difficult side to get past. Julian Nagelesmann’s men have the best defensive record in the Bundesliga this season. They’ve conceded the fewest goals and kept the highest number of clean sheets. Another shut-out here would see them equal a club record. They are one shut-out away from their club record of 16 Bundesliga clean sheets.

Over 2.5 total match goals is low at 1.65 and over 3.5 is 2.63.

Dortmund have attacked their opponents from the off in recent weeks. They’ve led at the break in each of their last three Bundesliga matches. It’s 2.75 for Dortmund to win the first half.

Erling Haaland is the obvious dangerman. The Dortmund forward has scored four in his last two league games against Leipzig and is 1.72 to get one at any time.
