TSG Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig are rejected by soccer traditionalists. However, both teams are playing some of the best soccer this season. On Saturday too?

Ole Werner is almost euphoric when he talks about RB Leipzig's game at TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday (3.30pm/Sky). "I'm really looking forward to the game. When it comes to the game, there are few more attractive encounters in the Bundesliga at the moment," said Werner, responding to the "Unbeliebtico" advertised by Hoffenheim with a wink, as both clubs are very low down in the favor of soccer traditionalists.

However, the match promises great sport because "both teams are in very, very good form, both are showing refreshing attacking soccer. Both sides have the future of soccer on the pitch in the form of many talented and exciting players who are just coming out. In that respect, it's a really cool game of soccer," said Werner.

After Leipzig's record start with 22 points from nine games, it's now important to keep the focus on the top. "It always starts again. You always have to be ready to prepare for the next task from scratch. That's the crucial thing. If you try to maintain something, you'll lose percentage point after percentage point," said Werner.

In Hoffenheim, he may have to do without central defender Castello Lukeba, who is suffering from a shoulder injury from the Stuttgart game (3-1). He would be replaced by El Chadaille Bitshiabu.
