RB Leipzig – Dortmund

For the quarter-final phase of the German Cup, Leipzig welcomes Borussia Dortmund to the Red Bull Arena. A single match, in case of a draw, extra time will follow and if necessary, the procedure of penalties.

Leipzig easily eliminated Hoffenheim in the previous round, winning 3-1 at the Red Bull Arena. It is the holder of the title and reasonably wants a similar success this year, and after yesterday's elimination of Bayern Munich with qualification today, it automatically becomes the big favorite.
In the league, after 26 games, it is in 5th place with 45 points, in minus 2 from the fourth and last place that gives participation in the groups of the next Champions League.
Last Saturday saw a shock 3-0 defeat at home to Mainz after a very bad appearance.

In the round of 16, Dortmund showed seriousness at the home of Bochum, won 2-1 and qualified for the quarter-finals of the tournament. It could have no other goal than to win the cup, a success it had repeated in 2021 by beating its current opponent 4-1 in the final.
Saturday suffered a heavy 4-2 top-flight derby defeat by Bayer Leverkusen in Munich, a result that flatters her as she found herself at the beginning of the replay behind the score with 4-0. Then she took advantage of the relaxation of the champions and scored 2 goals to feel satisfied!
With this defeat, he remained at 53 points and fell back to 2nd place and at minus 2 from Bayer in the battle for the title.

It is the big derby of the quarter-finals that after the elimination of Bayern acquires more importance. Leipzig are coming from 2 consecutive defeats with bad performances but Dortmund are coming from a bad result. I think we will have an exciting match with a rich spectacle and many goals.
