Match Preview:

RB Leipzig sit in 5^th place after a mixed run of results.  Just two wins in last seven games has seen them slip down the league and out of DFB Pokal. At home in the league, they have 7 wins from 11 games.

A 15-match unbeaten run for Dortmund in Bundesliga, a run stretching back to October and includes 11 wins and 4 draws.  Away form is good too with 6 wins from their 11 games with only Bayern Munich better on the road.

Betting Preview:

If Dortmund were not in the middle of a UCL playoff this would be a certain bet. With that distraction though we know they will have on eye on the 2^nd leg at Atalanta. Take the draw here as the best option.
