Borussia Dortmund vs Leipzig prediction and betting tips on December 9, 2023
Within the 14th round of the German Bundesliga, there will be a match between Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. The encounter will take place in Dortmund on Saturday, December 9th. The game is scheduled to begin at 18:30 Central European Time.
Borussia Dortmund
Under Edin Terzic's leadership, the team appears extremely unstable on their home ground this season. Recent unconvincing performances have almost ruled Dortmund out of contention for victory in the Bundesliga. They currently sit in fifth place after 13 rounds and in the last match, they couldn't hold onto a victory against the surprising Bayer Leverkusen.
In the UEFA Champions League, Borussia Dortmund made it to the playoffs from a very challenging group that included Milan, Newcastle, and PSG. This result might seem quite unexpected to many.
RB Leipzig
The Bulls are maintaining their usual level this season. They aren't aiming for victory in the championship, but securing a top-four spot is well within their capabilities. After 13 matches, Leipzig is in fourth place with 26 points. In the Champions League, similar to their upcoming opponent, they secured a place in the Round of 16. However, Leipzig had a noticeably weaker group. They were surpassed by Man City but had no problems against Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- In the last two Bundesliga matches in Dortmund, Borussia Dortmund conceded six goals.
- Both teams scored in the previous five matches involving Leipzig.

Prediction
In the last six head-to-head Bundesliga encounters, there have been at least three goals scored. I believe this trend will continue in this game, especially considering the attractive odds bookmakers are offering for this outcome.
