Prediction: Leipzig 1-3 Dortmund
Dortmund have been in good form in the Bundesliga in recent weeks and remain the sole threat at Bayern’s top spot.
Leipzig’s inconsistencies have kept them further and further away from the title challenge and we do not see them posing much trouble here as well.
BVB is expected to get another three points in their grasp.
Players to watch out for: Poulsen, Nkunku, Hazard and Meunier.
