RB coach expects further development - Bakayoko questionable

Werner best new Leipzig coach after seven matchdays

However, it is precisely these phases without dominance that are important for the coach in order to stay on the ball and be able to resolve these situations better later on. "We have to create an awareness of wanting to get better and not just act with an eye on the scoreboard," said Werner, who himself has the best record of all new Leipzig coaches after the first seven league games with 16 points.

In addition, Leipzig have been unbeaten against the Fuggerstädter for 15 matches, with nine wins and six draws, longer than against any other Bundesliga club. But Werner warns against the team coached by Sandro Wagner, who are 13th in the table and have found their feet with two wins, a draw and four defeats in a row and "defend very aggressively and forward a lot. Wagner puts a team with a clear signature on the pitch, so we can expect an unpleasant game."
