A few days before their first leg match in the Champions League semi-final against PSG, Borussia Dortmund is facing a series of tough matches with a perilous away trip to Leipzig. Coming close to being the first team to defeat Bayer Leverkusen last week (1-1), Borussia dropped two valuable points in the quest for 4th place, which means Champions League qualification for next season. Edin Terzic's men have raised their game against the top teams since the start of the season, and their European Cup run highlights the qualities of the squad under the Croatian coach. Unbeaten away from home since November in the Bundesliga, Marco Reus and his teammates will have to maintain that record to stay in touch with the top 4, or even better in case of success. Because precisely, the 4th-placed team in the standings is RB Leipzig... With a 2-point lead over their opponents today, Lois Openda's teammates could take a huge step towards securing that crucial ticket with a win, and the main mission will be to avoid defeat to keep their fate in their own hands. But Marco Rose's side will be aiming for victory with their current momentum giving them wings! With 7 consecutive matches without defeat (6 wins and a draw), RB Leipzig has turned things around after a lack of consistency in the early months of the season. Strong at home with 10 wins in 15 matches, Leipzig now wants to see the ticket for the big-eared cup get closer this Saturday.
