RB Leipzig will look to continue their pursuit to defend their DFB Pokal title against Dortmund in the quarter-final, which will take place at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig on Wednesday night. The Black and Yellow won their fifth DFB Pokal in 2021 and will aim to get their sixth this season along with the elusive title. On the other hand, Red Bull Leipzig are one of the most interesting teams in Europe as sometimes they seem to be genuine title contenders but sometimes they seem just a business club.
Dortmund were brought back to the reality by Bayern last week when the Bavarians put three goals past them in the first half itself and scored another one in the 50th minute. Although Dortmund tried to come back with two goals from Can and Malen it wasn’t enough and they lost their top spot in the table and now trail Bayern by two points. This loss doesn’t take away all the things that Terzic and his men have done, getting the club back as serious title contenders after 11 years.
Die Roten Bullen, have hit a rough spot in the season as they have lost four of the last six matches and are placed fifth in the Bundesliga table below SC Freiburg and even Union Berlin. Their key player Christopher Nkunku is injured with a thigh strain and we don’t know how long he will be out. The talented forward is due to move to Chelsea in the summer who signed him for 50 m euros according to reports. In his absence, players like Timo Werner and Forsberg will look to step up.
Head to Head:
- In the 15 matches played between them, Dortmund won eight while Leipzig won five, and two of them were draws.
- In their last five meetings, Red Bulls have won three while the Black and Yellow have won two.
