RB Leipzig – Borussia Dortmund Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (5.4.2023)

The Red Bulls had a horrible March and will try to bounce back with a home victory over Borussia Dortmund in the DFB Pokal. The visitors haven’t impressed over the last few weeks, so Wednesday’s match will have a lot on the table for either side. 

RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Dortmund: Initial Situation  

RB Leipzig have defeated Teutonia Ottensen 8-0, Hamburger SV 4-0, and Hoffenheim 3-1 through the previous three rounds of the DFB Pokal. On the other side, Borussia Dortmund have beaten 1860 Munchen 3-0, Hannover 2-0, and Bochum 2-1 to reach the quarterfinal. 

RB Leipzig Stats & Form 

The Red Bulls are coming off Saturday’s 3-0 home loss to Mainz in the German Bundesliga. It was their third defeat in a row, and the streak started with a humiliating 7-0 loss against Manchester City in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Meanwhile, the Red Bulls suffered a 1-0 road loss against Bochum, so they’ve failed to score a single goal in three straight outings. 

RB Leipzig are missing Christopher Nkunku, who’s scored 17 goals so far this season. His absence was a big part of the Red Bulls’ recent inefficiency. RB Leipzig will demand more from Timo Werner and Andre Silva, who have combined for 22 goals and 14 assists in 2022-23. 

  

Borussia Dortmund Stats & Form

The BVB have been inconsistent over the last few weeks, recording one win, two losses, and a draw in their previous four games in all competitions. Last Saturday, Borussia Dortmund suffered a tough 4-2 defeat against Bayern Munich on the road, allowing the Bavarians to surpass them in the Bundesliga standings. The BVB were outclassed and trailed Bayern by four goals after 50 minutes of play. 

The 19-year-old midfielder Jude Bellingham is Dortmund’s leading scorer with ten goals in 2022-23, while left-back Raphael Guerreiro is the team’s top assist-maker with 12 dishes. The veteran attacking midfielder Marco Reus has accounted for eight goals and seven assists so far this season, and striker Youssoufa Moukoko has added six goals and six assists.
