Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on Red Bull Arena when Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund square off against each other at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls have been anything but impressive in the first half of the season, with the team collecting only five points in total from possible 15. Domenico Tedesco’s troops experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, recorded a very important hard-fought 1-0 win over Hoffenheim at the weekend to overtake Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga standings. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards at Red Bull Arena as Leipzig are tough to beat at home. All Bynoe-Gittens, Morey, Adeyemi, Malen, and Dahoud are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Willi Orban):
Willi Orban was born on 3 November, 1992 in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Orban plays as a centre back, but he can operate as a defensive midfielder as well. The 185-cm-tall footballer is a product of Kaiserslautern’s youth academy and he played 35 league games for the reserve team between 2011 and 2013.
Orban made his debut for the first team in 2011, against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. The Kaiserslautern footballer made 68 league appearances for Kaiserslautern, scoring 7 goals for the German outfit between 2011 and 2015, but in May 2015 he signed a contract with Leipzig. Kaislerslautern fans were very angry with the defender when he decided to join die Bullen.
Willi Orban has two caps for Germany U21, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. He has a contract with Leipzig, which expires on 30 June, 2019. Willi Orban has a dual citizenship (Germany, Hungary).
Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
