Saturday, June 20th – Away against RB Leipzig

Borussia Dortmund’s biggest remaining game comes against RB Leipzig in the penultimate game of the season. This game will surely be massive in the race for the Champions League spots, with the winner getting a big leg up on the loser.

Dortmund had a monumental collapse against RB Leipzig in their first meeting this season. Lucien Favre’s side were putting on a dominant display in the first half, going up 2-0, only to give up two quick goals after half-time. Dortmund would score again to take the lead and once again be unable to hold the lead with Leipzig scoring in the 78th minute to earn them a point.

Just two points currently separate the two sides, and this match could well prove to be a second place playoff.
