Dortmund Host Leipzig in Early-Season Test Between Bundesliga’s Form Teams

Both arrive on four-match winning streaks, with Dortmund chasing a fifth straight league clean sheet to equal a club mark.

Overview

Saturday’s match at Signal Iduna Park pits second-place Dortmund on 13 points against third-place Leipzig on 12.
Across two seasons Dortmund are unbeaten in 13 Bundesliga games and have six straight home wins, scoring at least three in five of those.
Leipzig have rebounded from a 6-0 opening defeat to Bayern with four consecutive league victories, including back-to-back 1-0 away wins sealed by Johan Bakayoko.
Dortmund list Emre Can, Julien Duranville and Aaron Anselmino as absentees, while Leipzig are without Benjamin Henrichs, Amadou Haidara and Max Finkgräfe, with Xaver Schlager a doubt.
Head-to-head remains even with nine wins each in 20 meetings, and previous encounters in Dortmund have produced high scoring with no goalless draws.
