RB Leipzig, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the RB Leipzig players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 31 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Eintracht Frankfurt who had 5 attempts and 1 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Marco Rose will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at The Red Bull Arena.
They have had a strong run of form at The Red Bull Arena recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Loïs Openda will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 11 goals in RB Leipzig's 17 league games this season.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormBayer Leverkusen have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 away win against Augsburg in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 76%, while racking up 24 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Augsburg had 4 shots on goal with 0 on target.
With 13 goals scored from their past 6 matches and just 2 conceded, their manager Xabi Alonso will be more than happy with his team's form of late. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 17 games in a row, and they are currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 17 games in a row.
Álex Grimaldo will be hoping to create problems for RB Leipzig in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Bayer Leverkusen.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was RB Leipzig who ended up empty-handed, losing 3-2 to Bayer Leverkusen.

With only Victor Boniface (Groin) and Arthur de Matos Soares (Tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Xabi Alonso will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
