Prediction
RB Leipzig 3, Dortmund 2
Moneyline (ML)
RB LEIPZIG (+125) is worth a roll of the dice in this battle between second- and third-place clubs. A win over Dortmund (+195) would be a nice consolation prize after losing out to Bayern Munich for the overall league title, the eighth straight for Munich. Leipzig is still headed for Champions League play, and will be a force to be reckoned with there.
If you want to take a bit of a chance, RB LEIPZIG TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+240) is an intriguing value play.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 3.5 (+125) is a value play here. Dortmund has registered 82 goals across 32 games, while Leipzig has buried 79 goals. These are two of the highest-scoring teams in the Bundesliga. Leipzig has found the back of the net in five of its past six Bundesliga matches. In the most recent meeting – Dec. 17, 2019 – these two battled to a 3-3 draw, and they have scored five or more goals in three of the past five head-to-head meetings.
