Prediction: 2-2
RB Leipzig
Sunday’s football game at Signal-Iduna-Park pits together Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig, the two teams who are widely expected to play important roles in the Bundesliga this season. The Millionaires defeated Lazio in their last warm-up game, but they do not seem to be capable of putting an end to Bayern Munich’s dominance in the German top flight. Borussia Dortmund need to make a flying start to the season if they are to put pressure on the mighty Bavarians, but beating star-studded Leipzig is easier said than done. The Red Bulls have been producing fine performances in the Europa League qualifiers and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Borussia Dortmund. Anyhow, a lively contest is on the cards and we predict the two teams are going to play out a high-scoring draw at Signal-Iduna-Park.
