- Borussia Dortmund have the most scored goals in the second half (46) in Bundesliga

RB Leipzig are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Borussia Dortmund form and stats
9 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Borussia Dortmund have to build on here at Signal-Iduna-Park in the Bundesliga. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Borussia has won their last four matches. Borussia has recorded two wins in a row here at Signal-Iduna-Park, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
The Borussia goalkeeper Marwin Hitz is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 256 minutes without conceding a goal in the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund's previous game was a DFB Pokal match also played at home, ending 5-0 versus Holstein Kiel. The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Wolfsburg and winning 2-0.
As mentioned above, Borussia "killed" Holstein Kiel in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Borussia Dortmund decided the match against Holstein Kiel in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (5-0) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Borussia Dortmund have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost one.
The Borussia manager E. Terzic has got the team scoring with 34 from 15 home games in the league. Borussia's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
RB Leipzig form and stats
8-4-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for RB Leipzig, who have the fewest conceded goals (25) in Bundesliga, in their Bundesliga matches away.
Two travels in a row for Leipzig, whose manager J. Nagelsmann could celebrate last time after the DFB Pokal win against Werder Bremen (after extra-time). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.
The end of the last match, against Werder Bremen (after extra-time), was very satisfying as Emil Forsberg scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Leipzig are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of one match.
RB Leipzig has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 28 goals from 15 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (14 so far).
