Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on Red Bull Arena when Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund square off against each other in the Bundesliga round 31. The Red Bulls are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win as they survived Heidenheim at the weekend, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. The attacking partnership of Louis Openda and Benjamin Sesko has been in a perfect working order of late and we predict that the duo will make life difficult for the opposition back-line.
Both Christopher Lenz and Yussuf Poulsen are injured for the home side. The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, will be with one eye on the Champions League clash with PSG, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Leipzig. To make things even worse for the visiting team, both Ian Maatsen and Emre Can are banned for the match.
Highlighted Player (Dani Olmo):
After starting his youth career at Espanyol, Dani Olmo moved to fellow Catalan side Barcelona in 2007 at the age of nine. The Spanish player born in Terrasa on May 7, 1998 then moved to Dinamo Zagreb, where he established himself as a first-team regular.
Dani Olmo was on the verge of leaving the Croatian club in the summer of 2019, but he eventually stayed at Stadion Maksimir. Olmo is one of the most talented footballers in Spain and he helped the U21 team clinch the Euro 2019 trophy. La Furia Roja defeated Germany in the final of the tournament, with Olmo being named Man of the match.
The Spanish attacking midfielder, who is used as a winger as well, was named the Croatian First Football League player of the year for 2018. His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with Dinamo Zagreb until June 30, 2021.
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.
