Both teams face each other in a competitive game for the sixth time today. So far, RB Leipzig have never lost a game against the cloverleaf (four wins, one draw). The Saxons not only won the first leg 4-1, they also won their only two guest appearances at Ronhof Sports Park | Thomas Sommer.

Last weekend, RB Leipzig only managed a 1-1 draw against SC Freiburg in their own stadium. Coach Tedesco also made four changes today, with which the jump to fourth place in the table should succeed: Simakan, Henrichs, André Silva and Laimer start for Poulsen, Mukiele, Gvardiol (all three benches) and Kampl (earache).

RB Leipzig initially went without a win in seven away games under Jesse Marsch in the 2021/22 season. Under Domenico Tedesco, on the other hand, the Saxons got their weakness away from home under control again. The Red Bulls have won three of their five away league games under their new coach, and recently celebrated a 3-1 win in San Sebastián in the Europa League and a 4-0 win in Hanover in the DFB Cup. Overall, RBL has all won the last four competitive games in the distance with 14: 2 goals.

Most recently, the Mittelfranken lost 2-1 away to VfL Bochum. Stefan Leitl made four changes to his starting line-up compared to this away game: Bauer, Willems, Nielsen and Green take over for Tillman, Seguin (both on the bench), Dudziak (Achilles tendon problems) and Griesbeck (suspended).
18:36
The Fürther have lost 17 of their 25 league games and thus still hold the red lantern. Nevertheless, the cloverleaf can also report a positive series at the moment: the Middle Franconia have not lost a single one of the last six home games in the Bundesliga (three wins, three draws). After only one point and only two of their own goals in the first six home games, Stefan Leitl’s team has always scored in six consecutive home games and scored ten goals in total.
18:30
RB Leipzig leads the second half of the table with 19 out of a possible 24 points and brings an impressive record against promoted teams to Middle Franconia. The reigning runner-up has never lost a game in the Bundesliga against a promoted team (20 wins, three draws).
Good evening and welcome from the Ronhof sports park | Thomas Sommer. Here, SpVgg Greuther Fürth welcomes RB Leipzig at 7:30 p.m. today as part of the 26th match day of the Bundesliga.
