We’re inclined to think that RB Leipzig are likely to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

In contrast, Borussia Dortmund may well find it hard getting goals but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage, too.

We’re predicting a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for RB Leipzig by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
