On Saturday, Red Bull Leipzig take on Borussia Dortmund at the Red Bull Arena in a battle of eighth versus second in the Bundesliga, with the hosts backed to win this game due to the absence of Erling Haaland as the Norwegian star is injured.
Across the whole season, 60% of the games that these two sides have featured in have seen both teams score, which is demonstrated by some of the recent results, as in the Champions League, Leipzig drew 2-2 against PSG, outplaying the French side and were perhaps unlucky not to win, having seen an Andre Silva penalty saved, needing to be saved by a 92nd-minute goal by Dominik Szoboszlai after Christopher Nkunku had put them into the lead early on, whilst Dortmund were beaten 3-1 by Ajax at Signal Iduna Park.
Prior to their draw with PSG, Leipzig drew 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt and hammered Greuther Furth 4-1 at home as Yussuf Poulsen, Emil Forsberg, Szoboszlai and Hugo Novoa all got on the scoresheet, whilst Dortmund beat Arminia Bielefeld and Koln 3-1 and 2-0 after their heavy matchday four defeat at Ajax, where they were soundly beaten 4-0.
