Things are going well for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga and the cup. Now it's off to the struggling championship co-favorites Borussia Dortmund.

Leipzig (dpa) -

Best defense in the league

RB Leipzig can rely on its defense this season. Goalkeepers Peter Gulacsi and Maarten Vandevoordt have only conceded three goals in their eight games so far. That is not only a club record, but also the best figure for a Bundesliga team in ten years.

BVB with a flawless home record

Borussia Dortmund have a clean sheet at home: four games, four wins. In contrast, they have only scored one point away from home.

A lot of goals again?

Borussia and RB have faced each other 16 times in the league so far - and have always scored a lot of goals. 56 goals means an average of 3.5 per game. The statistics are balanced: Each team has won seven times and there have been two draws. The comparison has never ended without a goal. The goal difference is 29:27 for RB.

Poulsen scored most often against BVB

RB coach Marco Rose has a special joker up his sleeve in Yussuf Poulsen. The Dane, who scored twice to fire RB into the last 16 against St. Pauli (4-2) in the cup, also likes to score against BVB. Poulsen has scored three times so far. Christoph Baumgartner from the current squad also scored two goals against Dortmund.

Rose ahead of 100th game for RB

Marco Rose is celebrating a special RB anniversary at his old place of work, of all places. The 48-year-old will be on the touchline for Leipzig for the 100th time in a competitive match. He has only coached RB Salzburg in more games (114). His first match with Leipzig was on September 10, 2022 - against Borussia Dortmund. RB won 3:0. Rose was employed by Dortmund from July 1, 2021 to May 20, 2022.
