The Bundesliga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Borussia Dortmund lock horns with an impressive RB Leipzig side in an important encounter at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig on Saturday. Both teams have failed to meet expectations so far this season and will be determined to win this game.
RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund Preview
Borussia Dortmund are in 10th place in the Bundesliga standings and have struggled in the competition this season. The Ruhr Valley outfit defeated Lille by a 3-2 scoreline on aggregate in the UEFA Champions League this season and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table and have not been at their best this year. The hosts were held to a disappointing 0-0 stalemate by SC Freiburg in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
