Dortmund have already defeated RB Leipzig once this season.

RB Leipzig are all set to host Borussia Dortmund in match week 26 of the Bundesliga 2024-25 season. The hosts are in sixth place and will be looking to secure a Champions League spot for next season. On the other hand, the visitors will also be fighting for the same.

RB Leipzig have won 10 games in 25 league matches as of now. They have managed to come up with some average performances but will have to maintain consistency from this point on. They were held to a goalless draw in their last Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg.

Borussia Dortmund faced a shocking loss against Augsburg in their last league match. Although their attacking rate and ball possession were superior, they failed to score a goal. They conceded a goal early in the first half and only one of their 15 shots was on target.

  • Location: Leipzig, Germany
  • Stadium: Red Bull Arena
  • Date: Saturday, March 15
  • Kick-off Time: 23:00 IST/ 17:30 GMT/ 12:30 ET/ 09:30 PT

Players to Watch

Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)

The Slovenian forward is the top goal-getter for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga this season. Benjamin Sesko has scored 10 goals and has also bagged four assists in 24 league games so far. He will be looking to step up and score a goal or two so that he can help his side earn three vital points.

Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)

Serhou Guirassy has shown some decently good performances and is an important asset for the Bundesliga giants this season. He has been scoring goals in the German league, as well as the UEFA Champions League this season. He is likely to lead his side to a win in the upcoming league game against Leipzig.
