The match between Leipzig and Dortmund is going to be a tough match especially for Leipzig because their position is very important right now and if they lost the match against Dortmund then for sure Dortmund will take over their position. However, I’m very sure that Leipzig l will rather go for draw or win in this match, Although, I know Dortmund is going to dominate the match and see that they win the game, because is very important for them.
And again, Leipzig looks good than Dortmund in their recent performance, But in this stage of league no opponent can be underestimated so let see if they will win this game and continue to secure their position in the table.
Basically Dortmund do not have a good chance in the Champions League and thus, it is an obligation for Dortmund to be able to beat Leipzig. Because of course, Dortmund still has a chance to be able to finish in the top four to get Champions League tickets next season, compared to targeting the Champions League trophy which of course Dortmund does not have a good chance there. Therefore, instead of dividing the focus to match in the Champion League, it is appropriate for Dortmund to really be able to maximize the chances it has in the Bundesliga standings to be able to finish in the top four at the end of this season. But indeed, it will certainly never be easy to get good results in situations like this but anyway, Dortmund also has a good performance and that was proven when Dortmund could almost beat Bayer Leverkusen.
If you look at the opportunities, Dortmund fight in the Champions League is indeed tougher, especially if they set a target of winning a trophy, of course it will not be an easy job to overthrow PSG and then beat Madrid or Bayern Munchen. It makes sense why Dortmund should prioritize the Bundesliga, and finish in the top four when the season ends. However, both can go hand in hand and can be realized if Dortmund has great luck, but logically Dortmund chances are quite low. The Dortmund versus Leipzig match will be a deciding match, who is more entitled and worthy of getting a ticket to the Champions League next season.
On paper, Dortmund has the opportunity to secure full points when facing Leipzig even though they act as the visiting team, but on condition that they have to play with the same enthusiasm and performance as when they faced Leverkusen in the previous match. For Leipzig, this is momentum that must be utilized well, at least they will try to force Dortmund to share the points, that way their position in the top four will be safe. It also does not rule out the possibility that Leipzig will get an additional 3 points, Edin Terzic and his squad should be alert.
