Leipzig are already two points behind the Champions League places. Now, of all times, top club Dortmund are coming to the top match.

RB Leipzig are under real pressure against Bayern chasers Borussia Dortmund with a view to their own goals for the season. Ole Werner's team are already two points behind fourth place, which means they are aiming to qualify for the Champions League, ahead of the top match in the Bundesliga. Leipzig will have to make a change in goal against BVB on Saturday (18:30/Sky). Maarten Vandevoordt will come in for the injured former captain Peter Gulacsi.

"We're not known for playing a wait-and-see game, and we won't do that against Dortmund either. It's important that we keep possession and stay clean in transitional situations," said RB coach Werner. "It's about controlling possession, but also about determination. That's always a complex issue in top games, so you have to be well set up in all phases."
