Darmstadt arrive at The Red Bull Arena on Saturday for their Bundesliga 1 tie with RB Leipzig. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.
RB Leipzig, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-4 Bundesliga 1 victory versus VfL Bochum. We are thinking that Leipzig should employ a 4-4-2 system featuring Peter Gulacsi, Benjamin Henrichs, Castello Lukeba, Willi Orban, David Raum, Nicolas Seiwald, Amadou Haidara, C. Baumgartner, Dani Olmo, Benjamin Sesko and Xavi Simons.
There is just one fitness concern for the RB Leipzig gaffer Marco Rose to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Lukas Klostermann is out of contention.
How RB Leipzig might line up to take on Darmstadt
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Augsburg in Bundesliga 1 competition, Darmstadt and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one. We are inclined to think that Darmstadt will likely begin the game with a 3-4-1-2 lineup using Marcel Schuhen, Christoph Zimmermann, Klaus Gjasula, Matej Maglica, Gerrit Holtmann, Bartol Franjic, Tobias Kempe, Emir Karic, Julian Justvan, Sebastian Polter and Tim Skarke.
Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht has to currently contend with reduced team options. Clemens Riedel (Broken ankle), Marvin Mehlem (Broken fibula), Braydon Manu (Ankle injury) and Fraser Hornby (Ankle injury) can’t be considered.
