Coach Ole Werner wants to secure the first away points of the new Bundesliga season with RB Leipzig. However, the task at the still winless FSV Mainz 05 will be anything but easy for the Saxons.
Werner expects a hectic and aggressive game on Saturday (15:30/Sky). Especially as FSV have developed into a very uncomfortable opponent for RB in recent years. With their victory in Leipzig at the end of the previous season, Mainz overtook Leipzig and took away their international starting place for the first time in Bundesliga history.
Werner has almost his entire squad together with one absolute unknown quantity for FSV: Conrad Harder. The Dane moved to Leipzig just seconds before the end of the transfer window and could tip the scales as a wild card in the attack.
