ℹ️ Team News: Heidenheim

Elidon Qenaj (Knee injury) and Thomas Keller (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt.

We are thinking that Heidenheim may well use the 3-4-1-2 formation for the game with Oliver Baumann, Ozan Kabak, Florian Grillitsch, Tim Drexler, Pavel Kaderabek, Marius Buelter, Grischa Proemel, Anton Stach, Andrej Kramaric, Wout Weghorst and Maximilian Beier.

ℹ️ Team News: RB Leipzig

Out of a mainly available group, there’s only the sole fitness issue for the RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose to be concerned with. Yussuf Poulsen (Hamstring injury) won’t be in action.

We believe Leipzig will likely begin the game with a 3-4-3 formation with a starting lineup of Jonas Omlin, Marvin Friedrich, Nico Elvedi, Maximilian Woeber, Stefan Lainer, Julian Weigl, Ko Itakura, Luca Netz, Franck Honorat, Alassane Plea and Robin Hack.

🧠 Prediction

Heidenheim have the capability to breach the defence of this RB Leipzig side, but one goal might not quite prevent defeat.

We’re therefore expecting both teams to score in a 1-2 winning margin for RB Leipzig after the 90. Should be a good one.
