December 17th: Home to Leipzig

This game will be massive, Leipzig have been one of the best sides in the Bundesliga this season and will undoubtedly test Dortmund to the limits. Not only do they play a wildly impressive game Julian Nagelsmann can adapt tactics almost seamlessly to any type of opponent.

Leipzig were already insanely dangerous with their high pace attacking football but adding Nagelsmann to the fold adds a completely new dimension. Favre will have to get everything right on this day to come out on top.

This game guarantees to be a back and forth affair, it always seems to be high scoring with lots of excitement when these two teams meet. This time around Dortmund will be at home, giving them a slight advantage. Whichever team comes out on top will have gained a massive advantage in the title race.
