Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting tips
English week in the Bundesliga. Rarely have German football fans been pleased that after the game day on the weekend there is now a kick-off during the week, because the German upper house is alive, as it has not been for a few years. The tension is absolutely palpable and as it looks, several teams can become German champions this season.
Before Christmas, however, it is only about the unofficial title of the autumn master. In theory, five clubs are still arguing over the championship lead before Christmas. The current leader RB Leipzig has the best prospects. Julian Nagelsmann’s team will be extremely challenged on Tuesday when it comes to the big game at Borussia Dortmund.
The bulls are currently greeting from the top of the table. 33 points after 15 games are a result that we would definitely consider worthy of the title. The first chaser is Borussia Mönchengladbach, but BVB follows behind in third place. Dortmund are four points behind RB at the moment.
Overtaking is not possible even with a victory for the team of Lucien Favre, but at least one would get back to the title race before the holidays. It’s difficult to say who is the favorite in this top game. Both teams are in excellent shape, which is why the forecast between Dortmund and RB Leipzig in many places is very different.
However, the tendency of bookmakers is slightly towards the home side. A football festival should be expected in advance of the game. Both teams play forward with speed and have great qualities on the offensive. Quite a few betting fans will choose a tip on over goals in the game between Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
Hopefully this game will do what the pair promises. Lucien Favre and Julian Nagelsmann are not known for being successful with lawn chess, but rather rely on an open visor. The kick-off for the 16th matchday in the Bundesliga in Signal-Iduna-Park will take place on December 17th, 2019 at 19:30 p.m.
Dortmund:
This whole tiresome mentality discussion, which was held over Borussia in autumn, now seems to be light years back. After a few successful games, one or two failures were quickly forgotten. In the meantime, the Borussia are back on a really good path.
It looked like Lucien Favre had no future at BVB. The Swiss, otherwise known as stubborn, has changed the tactical formation from a chain of four to three and is now more likely to gain access to the opponent. Borussia Dortmund has won four competitive games in a row and is still in the round of 16 of the Champions League, where it will go against PSG.
However, with Hertha, Düsseldorf, Slavia Prague and Mainz, BVB did not have the big hits in front of their chest. The Nagel (smann) trial will not have to survive the Borussia defensive until Tuesday. However, before the game between Dortmund and RB Leipzig, the bookmakers assume that the odds offered will be a home win.
Last weekend, BVB played a convincing game at FSV Mainz. In the end it was 4-0 and this success was absolutely deserved in the amount, which was possibly due to the strength of BVB and the inadequacy of the 05er. Marco Reus, Jadon Sancho, Thorgan Hazard and Nico Schulz scored for the black and yellow.
Michael Zorc formulates the claims more clearly. Top game, home game and three points. You don’t need to give your players more motivation before a duel against RB Leipzig.
With Thomas Delaney and Axel Witsel, the control center in the central midfield will continue to be injured on Tuesday. Apart from Marcel Schmelzer, however, these are the only players that Lucien Favre cannot fall back on. The media assume that, despite the English week, Borussia Dortmund will not rotate on Tuesday.
RB Leipzig:
In recent years, the bulls have been able to establish themselves in the top group in the Bundesliga. The championship should be the goal at some point. In the meantime, the question of whether RB Leipzig is ready for the title this season is increasing. In the past few weeks, the Leipzigers have been playing at least as if everything can currently be trusted.
Nevertheless, the Saxons cannot currently be stylized as a contender for the championship. Everything looks like it could be ready this year. In the premier class, Julian Nagelsmann’s team has confidently entered the next round. In addition, there have been six wins in a row in the Bundesliga.
With 42 goals, the Bulls also represent the best offensive in the league. Timo Werner already has 16 goals. The last German player to achieve this feat after 15 games was Dieter Müller in the early 80s. Before the duel between Dortmund and RB Leipzig, a forecast on many goals is more than appropriate.
The bulls delivered a very convincing performance last weekend. At the guest appearance in Düsseldorf there were no more open questions after a few minutes when Patrik Schick scored the 1-0. Timo Werner by penalty and Nordi Mukiele put two more goals to the safe 3-0 away win.
Julian Nagelsmann got a little bit infected by the discussion about the title maturity of the Saxons.
To win in Dortmund, RasenBallsport needs a title-worthy achievement. The coach also knows that a win in Dortmund for the table would have very interesting effects for RB Leipzig.
On Tuesday Emil Forsberg and Yusuf Poulsen, who were spared in Düsseldorf, are expected again in the starting eleven. That could also apply to Nordi Mukiele. Kevin Kampl, Ibrahima Konate and Willi Orban are still out of the game. The failures were not significant for the Saxons, whether of the last successful games.
