Borussia Dortmund aiming to avoid another slip-up against RB Leipzig

Borussia Dortmund hosts Leipzig in an intriguing Bundesliga clash on Saturday, with both teams looking to make a statement

Dortmund will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing midweek draw at home to Manchester City, while Leipzig will be aiming to keep their perfect start to the Bundesliga season going.

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to avoid another slip-up when they host RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Edin Terzić's side were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at home to Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, and they will need to show a marked improvement if they are to get the better of a Leipzig side who have started the Bundesliga season in impressive fashion.

Leipzig are the only team to have won both of their opening matches, and they will be confident of causing an upset at the Signal Iduna Park.

The match is likely to be decided by the performances of the two teams' star players, Erling Haaland and Christopher Nkunku.

Haaland has scored 6 goals in his last 5 games for Dortmund, while Nkunku has 3 goals in his last 3 games for Leipzig.

Both players will be looking to add to their tallies on Saturday, and their individual battle could go a long way to deciding the outcome of the match.

Here are some of the key storylines to watch in the match:

Can Dortmund bounce back from their midweek disappointment?

Dortmund were far from their best against Manchester City on Wednesday, and they will need to show a marked improvement if they are to get the better of Leipzig.

Terzić will be demanding a response from his players, and they will need to be at their best to get the three points.

Can Leipzig continue their perfect start to the season?

Leipzig have made an impressive start to the Bundesliga season, and they will be confident of causing an upset at the Signal Iduna Park.

Domenico Tedesco's side are well-organised and have a number of dangerous attacking players, and they will be looking to make a statement against Dortmund.

Who will come out on top in the battle of the star strikers?

Haaland and Nkunku are two of the most exciting young strikers in Europe, and their individual battle could go a long way to deciding the outcome of the match.

Haaland has the edge in terms of experience, but Nkunku is in fine form at the moment.

It will be fascinating to see who comes out on top on Saturday.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but I think Dortmund will just edge it.

They have more quality in their squad, and they will be determined to bounce back from their midweek disappointment.

Leipzig are a dangerous side, but I think Dortmund will have too much for them on Saturday.

Predicted score:

Borussia Dortmund 2-1 RB Leipzig
