In Bundesliga’s week 31 fixture, RB Leipzig welcomes Borussia Dortmund to the Red Bull Arena, setting the stage for a clash between the fourth and fifth-placed teams.
Marco Rose’s squad has had a notable track record against Edin Terzic’s team, and the Red Bulls aim to secure a victory over BVB once again to virtually secure the fourth spot in the Bundesliga standings.
While Saturday’s match could have potentially been a decisive battle for the fourth position in the Bundesliga, recent developments in European competitions have lessened the stakes. Since the 2014-15 season, English teams have not produced a semi-finalist in either the Champions League or the Europa League, while German teams have produced three semi-finalists across both competitions. As a result, there is considerably less pressure on Leipzig and BVB in this encounter.
