This match could be the decider when it comes to the 4th spot in the Bundesliga. RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund both want to claim it in order to be absolutely sure of Champions League football next season. But with Germany likely to secure a fifth spot for the competition next year it could also carry importance than first perceived.
RB Leipzig Team News
RB Leipzig’s Champions League campaign was cut short after their elimination at the hands of Real Madrid. Since then the team has focused entirely on the domestic scene. And results have been more than good. In the six games following their second-leg tie in Spain, RB Leipzig is undefeated all while amassing 5 wins and just 1 draw. Four of those games featured goal tallies north of 2.5 per game. What is even more impressive is that the team continues a commendable trend of keeping clean sheets at home as in the last 5 home Bundesliga games RB Leipzig has denied the opposition any goals.
Notícias da equipe do Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund are defying expectations in continental football, but inconsistency has plagued their Bundesliga campaign this season. Good results are often followed by sub-par games and loss of points. Yet, Edin Terzic and his men have managed to win their last 4 away league games. Moreover, Borussia are undefeated as guests in the Bundesliga in 2024 with their last away league defeat coming at the hands of Stuttgart. The Black and Yellows have scored exactly 2 goals per game in all of their last 4 Bundesliga visits and have managed to avoid conceding a goal on 2 occasions.

RB Leipzig – Borussia Dortmund Betting Prediction
While the all too real possibility of a 5th Champions League spot for German clubs next year is looming over this clash, I do not expect either team to go easy. On the contrary – I expect that both will want to eliminate any possibility of mishaps and secure the 4th spot. RB Leipzig has maintained a stellar home in recent times, but so have Dortmund fared well in their Bundesliga visits lately. Given the magnitude of the game and what can be at stake, I think both teams will have a go at the win and we will see a game with over 2.5 goals and scoring done by both sides.
