Dortmund and Leipzig to serve up goals

Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig - 17/12/2019

Dortmund and Leipzig to serve up goals
5230

This clash is undoubtedly the fixture of all the midweek matches in the German top flight with 3rd placed Borussia Dortmund taking on the current Bundesliga leaders, RB Leipzig, when the two teams meet at the Signal-Iduna-Park with another precious three points at stake for both teams.

Borussia Dortmund will be in confident mood after having recorded 3 league wins on the trot with victories over Hertha Berlin, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Mainz which saw Tuesday night’s hosts score a total of 11 goals in this 3-match winning streak.

Goals have been in plentiful supply for the hosts so far this season.

The hosts still remain unbeaten at home so far in this season’s Bundesliga campaign and are the only side in the domestic top flight yet to taste defeat having won 5 of their 7 home matches to date.

Dortmund will face an in-form RB Leipzig outfit though on Tuesday night who will also fancy their chances of picking up all three points here, so perhaps the goals markets looks the safest option here as 6 of Dortmund’s 7 home matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals scored.

As mentioned earlier, RB Leipzig currently sit top of the Bundesliga with a 2-point advantage over 2nd placed Borussia Moenchengladbach prior to the midweek action in the German top flight on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Leipzig’s current lofty league position is thanks to an impressive 6-match winning streak and they’ll no doubt be eyeing off a seventh straight win at Dortmund on Tuesday night but may well face a much tougher proposition than that of Saturday’s opponents, Fortuna Dusseldorf, whom they registered a 3-0 win away from home.

Having won 6 of their 8 away matches so far in this season’s German top flight campaign, Leipzig will also be in confident mood, particularly as they’ve inflicted some heavy defeats  on the way to their 6-match winning streak.

Wins against Mainz 8-0, Cologne 4-1, Hoffenheim 3-1 and the aforementioned 3-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf have seen striker, Timo Werner (16 goals) as the main recipient of their goal-gluts, and with 7 of Leipzig’s 8 away matches to date resulting in over 2.5 goals, further goals should follow in Tuesday night’s clash at the top of the division.
