Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig prediction

This is one of the most exciting games of the season so far on paper when considering how well both have started. Both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have won four of their opening five league matches, although Dortmund have not only scored four more goals than Leipzig, they’ve also conceded four less and such defensive stability in particular could be crucial heading into this one.

But like the hosts, RB Leipzig have won their last four in the league and boast the standard of squad capable of going toe-to-toe with Dortmund over the course of 90 minutes. Expect a contest high on quality, particularly from an attacking point of view and backing over 2.5 goals scored warrants large consideration. 

Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig tip: Over 2.5 goals
