After the defeat in the Champions League, RB Leipzig will face SC Freiburg. Statistically, there is a lot to be said for a win for the Saxons. The coach even has a perfect home record.

Leipzig (dpa) -

Rose's favorite opponent

In his own stadium, Marco Rose has always won against SC Freiburg. Whether as coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund or now RB Leipzig, the Breisgau side have never gained a point in five games. Rose has already secured seven wins against Freiburg in total, a record the coach has against no other club.

Starting records

Neither Leipzig nor Freiburg have ever started a Bundesliga season as well as they have this season. Leipzig have 17 points from seven games and are level on points with league leaders Bayern Munich in second place. Freiburg are not much worse, having already collected 15 points.

Five minutes to the record

Under mastermind Ralf Rangnick, Leipzig once went 500 Bundesliga minutes without conceding a goal between October 7 and November 24, 2018. RB have only conceded two goals this season and are just five minutes away from equaling that record. "That doesn't mean we're going to stonewall at the back in the first five minutes. But maybe we should definitely survive five minutes," said Peter Gulacsi. Incidentally, the Hungarian was already in goal in 2018.

Willi, the duelist

Captain, defensive boss, leading player - Willi Orban has a status like no other at RB Leipzig. The Hungarian international underpins this with his performance. Orban has won 72 percent of his duels in the Bundesliga so far. This outstanding rate puts the 31-year-old at the top of the league.

Grifo on a high

Vincenzo Grifo has a similar status to Orban at Freiburg. And the 31-year-old veteran is also on a high at the moment. The midfielder has been involved in seven of Freiburg's twelve goals so far. Grifo scored three times himself and also provided four assists. After seven Bundesliga matchdays, his interim record has never been so good.
