Leipzig (dpa) -
Only defeat
Leipzig has something of a unique selling point. In more than 50 Bundesliga games, Leverkusen have only lost once - and that was against RB. In the first half of the season, the champions led Leipzig 2-0 before the Saxons turned the game around to win 3-2. A repeat - from RB's point of view - would certainly be desirable.
Counterattacking
The strength of RB's soccer has always been its transition play. There is a slight problem with this against Leverkusen. The Bayer team knows like no other how to let their opponents' counterattacks come to nothing. They have not conceded a goal on the counter-attack since matchday 18 of last season - January 20, 2024. The last one was conceded by Loïs Openda in Leipzig, but they won 3:2.
