BVB and Leipzig: Fight for points in the Bundesliga!

On March 15, 2025, Borussia Dortmund (BVB) reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League with a 2-1 win against Lille. The team will meet FC Barcelona here next April. However, this success comes at a critical time, since BVB could possibly miss the qualification for the European Cup for the first time since the 2008/09 season, which would be a significant defeat for the association. BVB is currently in 10th place in the Bundesliga.

The Situation is tightened by the placements of the two opponents in the next Bundesliga game against RB Leipzig. In the Bundesliga ranking, the RB Leipzig is located in 6th place, but the scoring of 39 points after 25 match days is the worst in the club's history. These events represent a premiere: Leipzig and Dortmund play against each other for the first time in the first division history, without one of the teams being one of the top four. Both teams urgently need points to improve their situation and the descent into the lower table regions.

Current form and head-to-head duelle

A look at the forms of shape of the teams shows alarming trends: RB Leipzig has only won one of the last nine Bundesliga games and has been waiting for a win for four games. Dortmund, on the other hand, has only scored ten points from eight matches in the second half of the season, which has been the worst yield since the 2008/09 season. BVB's ability to get away is also known, as the latest defeat against Augsburg (0: 1) shows.

odds and forecasts

The betting odds for the upcoming Bundesliga game reflect the uncertainty of both teams: a victory for Leipzig is quoted with 2.42, a draw with 3.70 and a win for Dortmund with 2,87. Analyzes indicate that it could be a tight game, with possibly less than 3.5 goals.

Both clubs are faced with the challenge of stabilizing their season and being able to survive in everyday league life. This applies not only to the struggle for the upper places, but also to the directional decision on participation in European competitions.
