Leipzig face Gladbach after disappointing UCL defeat.
In a clash of contrasting fortunes, RB Leipzig aim to bounce back from a series of defeats as they host Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are eager to secure consecutive Bundesliga victories for the first time since 2022, at the Red Bull Arena this Saturday.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig's struggles in the UEFA Champions League persisted with a 3-1 loss at Celtic on Tuesday, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. Marco Rose commented after the match, "We're currently not managing to play at the kind of level we can and want to. We need to get back to our best as soon as we can."
In contrast, their Bundesliga campaign is impressive, placing them second on the table with 20 points from six wins, two draws, and one loss. Their only setback came last weekend, a 2-1 defeat after losing their lead to Borussia Dortmund, with Benjamin Šeško scoring Leipzig’s lone goal.
Despite conceding three goals in their last two league games, Leipzig [WWWWL] boasts the best defense in the Bundesliga this season, having let in only five goals—a new club record for this stage of a top-flight campaign. The last team with a similar record was VfL Wolfsburg in 2019/20, also conceding just five goals.
Leipzig has an unbeaten home record against Mönchengladbach in the top flight [5W, 3D, 0L], winning the last three meetings without conceding. They are on an 11-game unbeaten run at home in the Bundesliga since losing 3-2 to Bayer Leverkusen in January 2024 [8W, 3D, 0L] and aim to extend this streak.
However, Marco Rose will contend with the absence of injured players Xavi Simons, David Raum, and Xaver Schlager. Benjamin Šeško and Loïs Openda are expected to spearhead the attack in a 4-4-2 formation.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Mönchengladbach will travel to Leipzig, seeking to win back-to-back Bundesliga matches for the first time since March 2022. The Foals defeated Werder Bremen 4-1 last weekend, with goals from Alassane Pléa, Marco Friedl (own goal), Franck Honorat, and Kevin Stöger.
Mönchengladbach, with a record of four wins, one draw, and four losses, are ninth on the table with 13 points. Gerardo Seoane’s side have kept a clean sheet and conceded 14 goals in the league.
They are unbeaten in three Bundesliga games, having claimed seven of a possible nine points from two wins and a draw. In addition, Gladbach has beaten Leipzig three times in the Bundesliga.
However, the Foals have picked up only 0.75 points per Bundesliga game against Leipzig, their worst return against any side. Seoane is expected to maintain a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Tim Kleindienst leading the attack.
Yvandro Borges Sanches and Luca Netz are both ruled out of this game, along with three others.
