Quite frankly, Dortmund's hopes of returning to the highest continental stage next season looked really bleak about a month ago. But they seem to have turned their fortunes around, picking up maximum points in their last four league matches to remain in the race for top four.

Meanwhile, Leipzig continue to mount a small amount of pressure on league leaders Bayern Munich, albeit realistically, their contention for the league crown might as well be over at this point, as Bayern are in need of just one victory to claim the title.

Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Team News

Dortmund have had to endure a really underwhelming campaign in the Bundesliga, languishing outside the top four in large spells in the season. Having crashed out of the Champions League after their defeat to finalists Manchester City, they will certainly be itching to have another run in the elite competition next season.

While that was proving to be a mere dream at one point this season, Dortmund have geared up more recently, winning each of their last four matches in the German top flight, including a crucial victory over third-placed Wolfsburg in their last outing.

Even though Dortmund had Jude Bellingham sent off in the second half, Haaland scored once in each half to seal the win at Signal Iduna Park. And as it stands, Die Borussen sit in fifth-place on the table, one point adrift fourth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt and two points away from Wolfsburg in third.

Edin Terzic, who will be leaving his place as Dortmund's coach at the end of the season, would surely want to leave on a high. And having booked a place against Leipzig in the DFB-Pokal final, the German coach will be hoping to lift a piece of silverware before the end of his stint at Dortmund's dugout.

Julien Nagelsmann, like his counterpart, will be leaving his job at RB Leipzig to take over from Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich. Nevertheless, as earlier stated, his side will also be contending for DFB-Pokal title, as he chases his first medal as a coach, and Leipzig's first-ever silverware.

Indeed, a record of nineteen wins, seven draws and five losses leave them in second-place on the table. Having amassed an impressive total of 64 points so far this term, Die Roten Bullen are seven points adrift league leaders Bayern Munich, who are on track for their ninth-successive league title.

In their last league outing, Leipzig made a return to winning ways against Stuttgart, having dropped points against Koln and Hoffenheim in their previous two games in the league. Amadou Haidara and Emil Forsberg were on target for Leipzig in this match, as the scoreline read 2-0 at fulltime.

Injured or Suspended Players

Borussia Dortmund: Marcel Schmelzer, Axel Witsel, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Youssoufa Moukoko, Mateu Morey Bauza and Jude Bellingham.
RB Leipzig: Lazar Samardzic and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Predictions

Interestingly, RB Leipzig boast the best defensive record in the German top-flight, having a paltry sum of 25 goals so far this term. Meanwhile, it's worth mentioning how potent Dortmund's attack can be, in fact, their attacking record is only bettered by that of the league leaders.

While we envisage a really tight affair between the two sides, our money is on Dortmund to edge out as winners in this contest.
