Over/Under & Spread for Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig

Borussia Dortmund has scored 20 goals in its seven straight Bundesliga win following the post-World Cup resumption – while conceding only six times.

During that spell, RB Leipzig’s goals record isn’t far behind with 17 scored and six conceded.

Therefore, the oddsmakers certainly fancy these sides to be among the goals in this critical clash in the Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig odds.

And it means there is little value on offer in the Total Goals section before the odds of +155 offered for there to be four strikes or more on target overall (Over 3.5).

Conversely, it could be profitable to take a chance on a low-scoring affair with an attractive +370 on offer for there to be only one goal (Under1.5).

Among the spread offering, there is a compelling offer of + 310 for Dortmund to win by at least two goals (Spread -1.5).

Meanwhile, visitor Leipzig is rated at +185 to win by a single goal or more (Spread -0.5).

Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig Preview

Borussia Dortmund can go top of the Bundesliga – possibly only briefly – if it wins or gains a point on Friday.

It heads into Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig following a 1-0 win away at Hoffenheim last weekend.

That made it an impressive seven straight league wins since the end of the World Cup.

During that time, it has also scored a 1-0 home win against Chelsea in the last 16 first leg of the Champions League.

With an excellent home league record of eight wins, one draw and only one defeat, Dortmund certainly presents a daunting prospect for RB Leipzig.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig has won its last two games – defeating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 at home last time out.

Furthermore, it showed its strength in a 1-1 home UCL draw with English champions Manchester City.

It has lost just once in its last 15 Bundesliga fixtures, with four draws during that time. 

So the home side certainly cannot take its visitors lightly.

Sebastian Haller to Score Odds

Sebastian Haller has scored once in seven games for Borussia Dortmund since he returned to action after treatment for testicular cancer.

He is gradually re-discovering his best form and is the favorite to score at +160 or +450 to score first or last in the Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig odds.

Meanwhile, Christopher Nkunku of RB Leipzig is the second favorite to score at +180. To score first or last, he is priced at +500.

He has claimed 12 Bundesliga goals this season – the most recent in the defeat of Wolfsburg on February 18.
