RB Leipzig host Freiburg with the hope of keeping the pressure on the top two and mounting a serious title challenge as the Bundesliga gets underway.

They dumped Tottenham Hotspur out of the Champions League before the break.

Timo Werner, who has scored 21 and set up another seven goals this season, will be hoping to reignite that winning feeling in the league with the team still only five points off the top.

Freiburg are not exactly a team inform themselves, with just three wins in 2020.

Freiburg are efficient in set pieces, scoring 10 of their last 14 goals from dead-ball situations.

Leipzig will be without their highly-rated young center-back Dayot Upamecano who is suspended, and whether he and what seems like a catalogue of the club’s young talent will be a part of their plans for next season remains to be seen.

The trio of Werner, Sabitzer and Christopher Nkunku has been unstoppable this season, with 57 goal contributions (goals and assists) between them.

Leipzig can’tafford to slip up if they are serious about preventing Bayernmunich from winning their 8th Bundesliga title in a row and 30th in total.
