Prediction

  • The Match of the Day in the Bundesliga with Leipzig coach Marco Rose going back to his former employer.
  • Dortmund have not featured in a goalless draw in 141 games, since October 2019, and took a point off Leverkusen last weekend - a great result for Bayern who did not play.
  • Dortmund played (and lost) in the DFB Pokal on Wednesday, while the holders Leipzig have already been dumped out so, crucially, have all week to prepare.
  • Back Leipzig to grab the win at decent odds to crank up the pressure on Edin Terzić.
