Turnaround in the league too: RB challenged in Kiel

Against an opponent who, according to the RB coach, has accepted the fight to stay in the league, it is important to perform at exactly the same level as the Frankfurt game. "Exactly with the intensity, exactly with the focus, exactly with the courageous play in certain situations and exactly with the switching. All of that can bring us success," said Rose, whose team has failed to win five times in the league recently.

Still unresolved personnel issues

The Leipzig side can call on the personnel that impressed against Eintracht. The coach left it open as to whether Rose will stick with the same formation or whether he will bring back a healthy Lukas Klostermann to replace Niklas Seiwald in defense.
