RB Leipzig will host Borussia Dortmund at Red Bull Arena on Saturday in a crucial Bundesliga clash that could shape the race for Champions League qualification.
Leipzig, currently sixth with 39 points, played out a goalless draw against Freiburg on March 8, missing key chances through Benjamin Sesko and Castello Lukeba. Their inconsistent attacking form has seen them fail to score in four of their last eight matches.
Marco Rose’s side are three points behind fourth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt but just six points ahead of 12th-placed Werder Bremen, making every point vital. They lost 2-1 to Dortmund in November despite facing six big chances while creating none of their own.
Dortmund, sitting in 10th with 35 points, suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Augsburg last weekend despite their opponents managing just one shot on target and 0.2 xG.
Leipzig have been strong at home, winning five of their last eight at Red Bull Arena, and will aim to capitalize on Dortmund’s struggles to boost their Champions League hopes.
