Match Prediction: Borussia Dortmund vs. Leipzig
In the current Bundesliga season, Dortmund has only dropped points and conceded goals in one match. At home, Borussia has been very strong lately, with six consecutive league victories, four of which were clean sheets. Overall, the team has shown great defensive solidity, conceding no more than one goal in 7 of their last 8 home league matches.
Leipzig, on the other hand, often struggles to attack effectively away from home and rarely delivers high-scoring performances. In their last ten away league games, the team has only once scored more than one goal, and in seven of those matches, they failed to score at all. Even in their two away wins in the current Bundesliga season, Leipzig managed just one goal.
I do not expect the visitors to be effective in attack. My prediction: Leipzig Individual Total Under 1.5
