Fantasy Football Tips

Captain Options

Erling Haaland – The Norwegian has had another impressive season with 25 league goals and 5 assists in 25 starts. He has 4 goals in his last 3 games, scoring both goals in their win against Wolfsburg. Haaland has created 30 chances, attempted 48 shots on target and succeeded in 27 dribbles at a 63% completion rate.

Dani Olmo – Dani Omo has 4 goals and 9 assists in the Bundesliga this season making him one of Leipzig’s most lucrative players. He has created 49 chances, attempted 22 shots on target and succeeded in 29 dribbles. He also assisted the opening goal in their 2-0 win over Stuttgart.

Differential Pick

Giovani Reyna – This has been somewhat of a breakthrough season for Giovani Reyna, having gotten 21 starts for Dortmund. The American international has not disappointed either with 4 goals and 5 assists in the Bundesliga. He also bagged a brace against Holstein Kiel in their last game and will look the carry on that form. At just 18 years old, Reyna has created 39 chances, completed 43 dribbles at a 60% completion rate, while whipping in 13 accurate crosses.

DOR vs LEP Dream 11 Teams

Goalkeeper – Gulacsi
Defenders – Hummels, Piszczek, Angelino
Midfielders – Reus, Sancho, Reyna, Kampl, Olmo (VC)
Forwards – Forsberg, Haaland (C)

Likely Winner:

Dortmund will go all out for this game in a bid to qualify for the Champions League. They are just 2 points off of 3rd place and will look to put in one final push before the season ends. RB Leipzig has all but confirmed their berth for European football and will have their hopes set on the finals against Dortmund next week. It won’t be surprising if Julian Nagelsmann uses the DOR vs LEP Today Match Prediction as a tactical experiment. Whereas both games are must-wins for the Black and Yellow. This game will most likely end in a draw that will come down to the fine margins.
