Game Preview
This weekend marks the return of the Bundesliga with a new slate of games. On Saturday, RB Leipzig takes on an outstanding Borussia Dortmund team in a crucial game at Signal Iduna Park.
After suffering back-to-back losses to Wolfsburg as well as Manchester City, Leipzig triumphed 2-1 over Heidenheim at home last weekend to get back on track. Die Roten Bullen have now triumphed in 8 of their initial 13 Bundesliga encounters this season, moving them up into the league’s top four; this is a feat they have only accomplished in their first top-flight campaign. Leipzig started the season strong on their travels, winning 5 of their initial 6 matches on the road. However, they have lost four of their past five away games in all competitions when they go to Dortmund on Saturday. They have defeated BVB more times than any other squad throughout the past two seasons, having won four of the past 5 competitive games and scoring 12 goals in the process. Nevertheless, their recent record versus Dortmund should serve them well.
Borussia Dortmund lost 2-0 on the road to Stuttgart on Wednesday evening, sending them out of the DFB-Pokal in the round of sixteen for the fifth time in the previous seven years. Serhou Guirassy and Silas’ goals in the second half put Dortmund to the knife once more, and the absence of 4 players due to injury added insult to injury to Dortmund’s wounds just 24 days after the team lost 2-1 to Stuttgart within the Bundesliga. Dortmund’s hopes of winning the Bundesliga early on have been severely damaged in the past few weeks as they have won just one of their last five games while giving up 12 goals. As a result, they have fallen to fifth place in the standings, one point behind their rivals Leipzig in 4th and ten points beneath leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
