Offensively, Dortmund has averaged 2.0 goals per game in this period, showcasing their ability to find the back of the net consistently. RB Leipzig, on the other hand, has also enjoyed a successful spell, winning their last three matches against Wolfsburg, FC Koln, and Mainz. However, they have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game in their last five fixtures.

Dortmund's home advantage, combined with their superior recent form and defensive solidity, gives them the edge in this encounter. Their consistent goal-scoring ability, coupled with Leipzig's defensive frailties, further tilts the balance in their favor. A key factor to watch during the game will be Dortmund's ability to maintain their defensive discipline while capitalizing on scoring opportunities against a Leipzig side that has shown some defensive prowess.
