Die Bullen have lost three times in a row ahead of this week’s RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund betting tips. Their league defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt could really have been a different result on another day, but their loss at home to bottom club Koln was unacceptable. Sandwiched in between those Bundesliga losses was a 0-2 reverse at home to Napoli in the Europa League. RB Leipzig still made it to the next round, however, having won the first leg 3-1 in Italy.

Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in ten matches and if things weren’t looking positive enough, they have just welcomed long-term injury victim Marco Reus back into their squad. Der BVB have four wins in five heading into this weekend’s tricky fixture and Peter Stoger will be confident that his team can extend their excellent run on the road, which currently stands at one defeat in seven. Stoger will also be hoping that on-loan Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi can add to the five goals he has scored since arriving in January.

RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Betting Advice

The sides under scrutiny in today’s free OddsDigger RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund bets have long-standing reputations for playing in a high energy, attacking style. Both sets of players are instructed to press with intensity from the front, which is a great tactic for pressuring defences and forcing errors.

The clubs have already played each other this season in the reverse Bundesliga fixture between the teams back in October at the Westfalenstadion. That day, the visiting team, Die Bullen, worked their way to a 3-2 victory. Diego Demme scored the winning goal inside the last ten minutes after an enthralling end to end battle.

Die Bullen’s matches at the Red Bull Arena in 2017/18 have generally provided fans with plenty to shout about. Their twelve Bundesliga contests there have averaged exactly three goals per ninety minutes so far this term. Der BVB’s fixtures have been goal-laden too – their league games have averaged 3.3 goals per contest this season. The teams are expected to maintain their healthy goal averages this weekend.

The next entry in today’s German football betting guide and RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund predictions also concerns one of the bookmaker’s goal markets. Even without the injured Naby Keita, Die Bullen have a whole host of dangerous midfield and attacking players, who are all capable of chipping in with goals.

The statistics back that up and Red Bull have only failed to find the net once in their last thirteen matches in all competitions. The one contest they failed to score in was in their Europa League defeat to Napoli, though as we explained earlier, the Germans still made it past their Italian counterparts and into the next round of the competition.

Der BVB’s goal scoring numbers are even more impressive. Incredibly, they have only been kept off the scoresheet once in their last thirty-one fixtures in a run stretching all the way back to September of last year. Peter Stoger may have lost star striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenal during the transfer window, but the goals have kept flowing for his side without him and they have netted in seven successive games now.
