They are clearly performing below expectations at the start of this season. As a result, Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund occupy positions in the table that they do not deserve given the true value of the two teams. An immediate change of gear is needed to try to stay in the fight for next season’s Champions League.
However, this is a game that could go either way, as we have seen in recent years. Sometimes one team wins, sometimes the other, and only in one case are they never wrong. But we’ll tell you that below, in our prediction. It must be said that home advantage has almost always been the deciding factor in recent encounters between these two teams. Yes, the home team always wins, and in the end, we are convinced that this will be the case again. Above all, for one simple reason: this season, when the Gialloneri leave their comfort zone, they almost never manage to perform as they do at home. The yellow wall helps, we know, but never before have Guirassy and his teammates paid the price for this effect as they have this season. If we are convinced, or almost convinced in this case, that Leipzig can take the win, we will remove the ‘almost’ from our prediction.
