Will a BVB run that began in Leipzig end at the same ground? | OneFootball

With six consecutive victories, Borussia Dortmund is currently the most in-form team in the Bundesliga, but they face a significant challenge in the top match on Saturday evening against RB Leipzig. Although the Red Bulls are not in their best form at the moment, they are far from being a favorite opponent for Dortmund – the BVB has lost all of their last five away games in Leipzig.

Immediately after the 0-2 defeat at the Red Bull Arena on March 15, 2025, with goals from Xavi Simons and Lois Openda, both of whom left Leipzig a few months later in the summer, BVB started a series that continues to this day, scoring at least one goal in 30 consecutive Bundesliga matches.

On Saturday, coach Niko Kovac's team aims not only to continue their current winning streak and keep the pressure on FC Bayern Munich but also to maintain their goal-scoring streak.

Leipzig without Peter Gulacsi

Looking at the last away game in Leipzig about eleven months ago, it should be no disadvantage for BVB that the hosts have to do without Peter Gulacsi. The Hungarian first-choice goalkeeper suffered a knee ligament injury last week in the 2-2 draw against VfL Wolfsburg and is out. In March 2025, Gulacsi was largely responsible for keeping Dortmund from scoring with a series of good actions.

Gulacsi is replaced by Marten Vandervoordt, who is set to become a regular starter from next season and now has another opportunity to prove himself over an extended period. The 23-year-old Belgian, who still hopes to make the leap into his country's World Cup squad, has played 17 competitive matches for Leipzig so far, conceding 24 goals.
