"Dortmund are currently second in the top flight, sitting six points behind Bayern Munich, though that gap could stretch to nine with the leaders playing earlier on Saturday. Kovac's side are on a six-game winning streak in the Bundesliga and unbeaten in 15 league outings in the competition in total as they have made up the gap on Bayern. Having made up a lot of ground on Vincent Kompany's team, Dortmund are high on confidence, and Kovac wants to continue building on that."
"Dortmund also come into this game on the back of a 2-0 win over Atalanta in the first leg of their Champions League play-off on Tuesday. But unlike their visitors, Leipzig do not have European football to focus on as well, giving them longer to recover and prepare between matches. Leipzig have won only one of their last five matches in all competitions, however, and have slipped down to fifth in the Bundesliga table, 11 points behind Dortmund, but Kovac refused to underestimate them."
Borussia Dortmund sit second in the Bundesliga, six points behind Bayern Munich and on a six-game league winning streak, remaining unbeaten in 15 Bundesliga outings. The team has closed much of the gap on Bayern and carries high confidence into the final third of the season. Dortmund won 2-0 against Atalanta in the first leg of their Champions League play-off on Tuesday. RB Leipzig do not have European matches this week, allowing longer recovery and preparation. Leipzig have won only one of their last five matches and have dropped to fifth, eleven points behind Dortmund, but still present tactical quality and freshness.
