Game Preview
RB Leipzig will host Borussia Dortmund in a matchup likely to feature plenty of goals at both ends, as the previous meeting between the sides ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw. In fact, four of the last five meetings between these two sides has ended with goals at both ends, and three during that span has produced over 4.5 goals. This game could also play a big part on deciding which team finishes in second place. Dortmund hold a three-point edge over Leipzig, but a win from the hosts could change things up considering both sides have the exact same goal differential (plus-45). The league title might be decided, but that does not mean there isn't anything left to play for in the final two weeks of the season.

Top Picks
Jadon Sancho, Dortmund: Sancho registered one goal and one assist in his previous match against Leipzig this season. The Englishman hasn't been himself since the league restarted in May, but he seems to be trending in the right direction and could be a spark up front once again, especially with Erling Haaland struggling to produce.
Timo Werner, RB Leipzig: Werner bagged a goal the last time out and already has five goals in seven starts since the league resumed in May, while also cracking the score-sheet in three of his last four appearances. He netted a brace in the previous fixture against Dortmund earlier this season.
