Is Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Bundesliga fixture

All you need to know ahead of the game

BUNDESLIGA (AP)

The big game in the German Bundesliga this weekend sees second host fourth as the race for Champions League spots takes centre stage.

Borussia Dortmund are looking safe for the top European competition next season, but also want to keep on the coattails of leaders Bayern Munich - just in case the soon-to-be-ten-times-winners do slip up and let the gap at the top be narrowed.

For RB Leipzig it’s all about ensuring they end the campaign in the top four, with Domenico Tedesco rescuing the campaign after a tough start under Jesse Marsch in the first half of the season.

Just five points separates fourth from seventh so Leipzig know their grip on the Champions League is tenuous at best right now, with further twists no doubt ahead before the year comes to an end.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

When is Dortmund vs Leipzig?
