Two of Germany’s regular European contenders in the face of RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are struggling for results on the domestic front to the extent that both are faced with the all too real possibility of missing out on UCL football next season. Despite their abysmal results in the Bundesliga, the inconsistency of all others still gives a fighting chance for a top 4 finish for both.
RB Leipzig Team News
Ever since the coming of the new year, RB Leipzig’s domestic form has plummeted to somewhat mirror their disastrous UCL run this season. In their 10 Bundesliga matches played since the start of 2025, Marco Rose’s team has won just 2, lost 2 and reached a draw in the remaining 6. These results have stalled Leipzig’s push for a top 4 finish to the point where the team is now 6th. Poor results and the inability to make the most of their home matches have left The Red Bulls in an disadvantageous position relative to their aspirations. While Rose’s team is generally involved in goal-shy games recently, their home matches tend to produce a good amount of goals as 4 of the last 5 games at Red Bull Arena have seen over 2.5 goals with each of those 4 matches also featuring goals from both Red Bull and their opponents.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund continue with their Jekyll and Hyde theme in their performances. As far as the team’s UCL campaign is concerned, things are going as well as they can be, but Bundesliga performances have been notoriously inconsistent and mostly disastrous. Niko Kovač managed to guide Dortmund to their first back-to-back wins this season, only for the team to register another loss, this time at home to Augsburg. This loss angered Kovač, as it was reported that fines were handed to several players following the Augsburg game, along with a 30-minute speech criticizing the team in the presence of Lars Ricken and Sebastian Kehl. As it stands right now, Borussia is wildly inconsistent in their performances, with their away matches being particularly bad, however, there are usually a good amount of goals scored in their games, with Dortmund often failing to keep a clean sheet themselves.
Head-to-Head-Games
Matches between RB Leipzig and Dortmund tend to produce a high amount of goals that usually come from both sides as well. Four of the last 5 H2H fixtures produced over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring. Leipzig have won the last 4 matches as host against Borussia with just one of those wins producing less than 3 goals.

RB Leipzig – Borussia Dortmund Betting Prediction
My pick here is over 2.5 goals in this game and both teams to score. This is usually how games between Leipzig and Dortmund pan out and given their woeful recent results and unsavory standings, I believe that we will see a tough fight for the 3 points here. Neither team is known for their defensive stability, but both have proven throughout this season that they know how to score regularly. With that in mind, the history of H2H between them, as well as the importance of this game, I can easily see the trend of goal-rich games with scoring from both sides continue in the rivalry between RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.
