Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 2.5 goals

This fixture has so often proved an entertaining one and we should expect another high-octane occasion on Saturday.

Dortmund come into this match looking to make amends for a disappointing 2-0 midweek DFB Pòkal defeat at Stuttgart. BVB have been a little up-and-down in recent weeks with five wins and three defeats in their last ten matches.

Edin Terzic´s men did claim a vital point at Bundesliga leaders Leverkusen last weekend but remain ten points behind the early pacesetters. 

Back on home soil, Dortmund will be looking to take advantage of a superb home record which has seen them win 16 and lose just one of their last 19 at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. In their most recent home fixture, BVB picked up an entertaining 4:2 win against Monchengladbach. 

RB arrive at the glorious SIGNAL IDUNA PARK looking to improve on a disappointing recent away record which has seen them lose four of their last five road matches over the past six weeks. In their most recent road runout, RB fell to a 3:2 defeat at Man City despite leading 2:0 in the first-half. 

Goals can usually be expected when Marco Rose´s side are on their travels. Five of RB´s last seven away matches saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored while each of their five most recent matches also saw both outcomes. 

Historically, this fixture has also proven a high-scorer and I like the chances of a similar outcome this weekend. BTTS and over 2.5 goals have landed in six of the last eight meetings between these rivals and I´m banking on a repeat this Saturday.
