RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund will lock horns in the Bundesliga matchday 11 at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday. The kick-off is at 19:30 CEST.
Preview
It hasn't been a dream start to the season for RB Leipzig under new manager Jesse Marsch following Julian Nagelsmann's departure to Bayern Munich this season. The Red Bulls finished as runners-up behind the Bavarians in the 2020/21 German top flight campaign but now are only eighth in the league standings with 15 points taken from the opening 10 matches. What's more, Leipzig are coming into this encounter on the back of back-to-back draws with Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1) in the Bundesliga last weekend and Paris Saint-Germain (2-2) in the Champions League on Wednesday.
While Lepzig managed to hold PSG to a battling draw, Dortmund weren't that much successful in their CL group stage encounter with Ajax on the same day. Despite being 1-0 up until the 70th minute, Marco Rose's side suffered a 3-1 loss to the Dutch champions to see their three-game winning streak across all competitions, including a 2-0 victory over Koln last week, coming to an end. Nevertheless, BVB are now second in the Bundesliga standings, nine points ahead of their forthcoming opponents and just one point adrift of leaders Bayern.
Team news
Marcel Halstenberg, Marcelo Saracchi, Lukas Klostermann and Willi Orban are all unavailable for the hosts through respective injury woes. Borussia's long list of injury absentees includes the likes of Raphael Guerreiro, Nico Schulz, Marcel Schmelzer, Mateu Morey, Emre Can, Mahmoud Dahoud, Giovanni Reyna, Marius Wolf and most importantly Erling Haaland.
Prediction
It's been quite a while since Leipzig managed to defeat Dortmund. To be precise, the Red Bulls have failed to beat BVB in their last eight head-to-head meetings in all competitions with Borussia being victorious in their last four visits to the Red Bull Arena. The injury absence of Haaland, however, could make the hosts a favour on Saturday, as well as the absence of a half of Dortmund's squad. What you can expect from the upcoming clash for sure is plenty of goals at both ends - something that usually happens in encounters between the sides in recent years.
