RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose has warned outsiders SV Wehen Wiesbaden ahead of their DFB Cup opener. "They defend very massively, mostly with five players at the back. We can't lose our nerves when it's still 0-0 after 30 minutes," said the 47-year-old. Defending champion Leipzig must play the second-division team on Wednesday (8:45 p.m./ARD and Sky) to close out the first round. In goal, Peter Gulacsi will be deployed after an almost one-year injury layoff. International Timo Werner beckons his first game from the start since mid-August.
