Leipzig (dpa) -
RB with a very good record
RB have faced VfL twelve times in competitive matches so far. The Saxons have celebrated ten victories, with the Ruhpott club winning only once.
Leipzig with strong defense in the VfL duels
When RB meet VfL, it is usually the defense that stands firm. Eight of the twelve competitive matches ended with a clean sheet. They scored 25 times themselves and conceded just four goals. However, RB usually struggled in Bochum.
Baumgartner as a striker?
Until now, Christoph Baumgartner usually played from a hanging position at RB. Due to Benjamin Šeško and Loïs Openda's yellow-red suspensions, the Austrian Footballer of the Year is the only healthy striker in coach Marco Rose's squad against Bochum. And therefore predestined for the position up front.
