🗞️ Team News: RB Leipzig

Willi Orbán (Torn lateral knee ligament) and Dani Olmo (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation) will not be taking part for RB Leipzig boss Marco Rose.

We think that Leipzig should employ a 4-4-2 formation for this one and select Janis Blaswich, Benjamin Henrichs, Mohamed Simakan, Castello Lukeba, David Raum, Xavi Simons, Xaver Schlager, Kevin Kampl, Emil Forsberg, Ikoma Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.

📋 Team News: Freiburg

Freiburg manager Christian Streich has some current player fitness concerns. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Cruciate ligament tear), Christian Günter (Broken arm), Roland Sallai (Muscle injury) and Max Rosenfelder (Patellar tendon problems) miss out here.

From our viewpoint, Freiburg appear most likely to play in a 4-1-4-1 formation, settling for Noah Atubolu, Kilian Sildillia, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Lukas Kuebler, Nicolas Hoefler, Ritsu Doan, Maximilian Eggestein, Merlin Roehl, Vincenzo Grifo and Lucas Hoeler.

💭 Prediction

We believe that Freiburg have it within them to breach the defence of this RB Leipzig outfit, however it probably won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We can see a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for RB Leipzig when all is said and done.
