Leipzig hoping to extend unbeaten league run to 19 games.
With their sights set on extending an impressive unbeaten Bundesliga run to 19 games, RB Leipzig host SC Freiburg at the Red Bull Arena, aiming to maintain their defensive dominance despite European setbacks.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig's UEFA Champions League woes continued with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Liverpool, leaving them without a point after three matches. However, their Bundesliga journey tells a different story, as they remain unbeaten alongside Bayern Munich.
The Red Bulls are second in the league table with 17 points from seven matches, tied with Bayern and trailing only on goal difference. Impressively, Leipzig tops the defensive rankings, having conceded just two goals and keeping clean sheets in their last five matches. Their latest Bundesliga victory was a 2-0 win against Mainz, thanks to goals from Xavi Simons and Willi Orbán.
Leipzig aims to extend their unbeaten league run to ten away matches as they face Freiburg on Saturday. Historically, they have dominated Freiburg, with 12 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses in their last 21 encounters. However, manager Marco Rose faces injury concerns: Xavi Simons is doubtful after a knock against Liverpool, and Lukas Klostermann is ill. Assan Ouédraogo, David Raum, Xaver Schlager, and Nicolas Seiwald are also sidelined due to injuries.
In light of these challenges, Rose is expected to deploy Loïs Openda in the front line within a 4-2-3-1 formation.
SC Freiburg
Freiburg are currently third in the Bundesliga table with 15 points, matching their best start to a season after securing a 3-1 home victory over Augsburg. Goals from Grifo in the 34th minute, Philipp Lienhart in the 37th, and Christian Günter in stoppage time did the damage, while Phillip Tietz scored a consolation goal for the visitors.
The Breisgau Brazilians have only suffered one away loss this season, which came on matchday two against league leaders Bayern Munich. Although Freiburg have only beaten Leipzig three times in Bundesliga history, Julian Schuster's side are eager to end their 11-match winless streak against the Red Bulls.
Manuel Gulde, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Merlin Röhl, and Kenneth Schmidt are unavailable for the weekend game due to injuries. Schuster is expected to keep Junior Adamu in the attacking position as he deploys the 4-5-1 formation.
