The hosts entered this adjustment with confidence thanks to his unbeatrous start in all of this quarter’s competitions, a series of 32 games following his 4-0 defeat to Hartberg in the Austrian Bundesliga this weekend. Having won the 4 Group B assignments so far, a draw would be enough to secure the first position and one position in the next round. Forwards Munas Dabbur and Fredrik Gulbrandsen are in sight, while Leipzig will have to distrust the prowess with the kicks of former Werder Bremen midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic.
Leipzig fell to fourth place in the Bundesliga qualifier this weekend after a wonderful 1-0 loss at Wolfsburg. Therefore, they will feed from the return to victory here, especially because they are in position at the moment but tied with Celtic, meaning they can no longer slip if they need to succeed in the 16-year drive. Timo Werner hasn’t done it yet. he started an organization match with Leipzig this fourth and therefore deserve to be on the bench from the beginning, while Emil Forsberg and Kevin Kampl are injured.
Look: Wait for Forsberg to dictate if he plays!
