The Dortmund boss also revealed that Mateu Morey, Julien Duranville and Karim Adeyemi have making progress in their injury recoveries, although they are not available to face Leipzig. Since that result, Dortmund have embarked on a 13-game unbeaten run at Signal Iduna Park, and they will be hoping to continue their fine form on Friday. Edin Terzic's have won all nine of their competitive games in 2023 - a feat that no other side in Europe's top 10 leagues have achieved.

The Bundesliga title fight is absolutely wide open, with five teams realistically in the mix, and two of them meet on Friday as Borussia Dortmund host RB ...

— Brandt has scored in four straight league games, and while he didn't end up on the scoresheet against Chelsea in European action, he was excellent in that match as well. They've also played some seriously wacko matches over the last few years, averaging 3.6 goals per game since the start of 2017. ET / 7:30 p.m. BVB are on an absolute tear, winning all nine of their matches since the World Cup break ended, including domestic wins over Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen, plus a Champions League home victory over Chelsea.

We go over everything you need to know for Borussia Dortmund vs. RB Leipzig on Matchday 23.

However, they’re coming off a 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their last domestic match and will look to keep that momentum going on the road against Dortmund. Based on recent form, I’m leaning toward backing the home side to take all three points in this one. Their last meeting came on September 10 as Leipzig cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win in Matchday 6 on their home ground. The black-and-yellow are on an impressive 11-match winning streak across all competitions, which includes seven Bundesliga matches as they’ve won every contest since returning from the World Cup break in January. Both teams are in the top four, with Dortmund sitting in second place with 46 points while Leipzig is in fourth place with 42 points. All the options come in at a great value, including a Dortmund win at plus odds even though they’re slightly favored to get the win at home.
