RB Leipzig Team News

The start of the Bundesliga has not been this interesting in a while, considering that the gap between the first-placed Bayer Leverkusen and the fifth-placed RB Leipzig is only three points. Although Bayern Munich is once again the number one favorite to win the title, Dortmund showed last season that the team from Munich is attainable, as they missed an excellent opportunity to become champions due to their own slip-ups. Despite the departure of several key players and injuries to Olmo and Orban, RB Leipzig is playing phenomenally, showcasing a successful club management model to everyone in Europe.

Heading into this match, Leipzig has four wins, with only one loss in the first round against Leverkusen and one draw in the previous game against Bayern Munich. Nevertheless, there is some regret for not winning that last match, considering Leipzig had a 2:0 lead at halftime.

RB Leipzig put up a worthy fight against Manchester City on Wednesday in the second round of the Champions League, but they were defeated 1:3 with late goals. However, despite that loss, they are still favorites for the second spot in the table, given their superior quality compared to Young Boys and Crvena zvezda.

Emil traut sich aber nicht selbst abzuschließen und will #Openda in Szene setzen:
Leider die falsche Entscheidung.

Weiter!!

Bochum Team News

After the previous season, in which Bochum anxiously fought to avoid relegation until the last round, there are significant chances that this year could be even more challenging for the visitors. After six games of play, they are in 16th place, with only three points. They have the worst defense in the league so far, conceding a total of 19 goals, and with only five goals scored, they are one of the least efficient teams in the league.

They suffered two heavy defeats after three consecutive draws (against Dortmund, Augsburg, and Eintracht Frankfurt). They were thrashed 7:0 by Bayern Munich in an away match. In the next game at their home ground, Bochum recorded another convincing loss, this time 1:3 against Monchengladbach, so there is no doubt that they are entering the match against Leipzig with minimal chances.
