RB Leipzig host SV Elversberg on Saturday at 15:30 local time at the Red Bull Arena, aiming to halt a run of two consecutive away defeats. The match is the seventh round of the Bundesliga and offers a chance to solidify their league position. The team currently sits 7th in the table with 9 points from 6 games, leaving them 5 points behind the league leaders.
Manager Martín Demichelis expressed some satisfaction with aspects of the performance despite the 4-1 loss to Real Madrid on Wednesday in the Champions League, a match in which Tidiam Gomis scored for Leipzig. He urged his team to look forward and deliver a good game in front of their own fans.
Leipzig's last five away matches have all ended in defeat. Their recent form across all competitions shows two wins and three losses from the last five, including defeats in the last two matches. This contrasts with strong home victories like the 6-0 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt and the 1-0 win over PSV Eindhoven. Nkunku is currently the squad's top scorer with 4 goals this season.
SV Elversberg travel to Leipzig following a win against FC Augsburg and a draw with FC Schalke 04. For RB Leipzig, the home game is a key opportunity to keep pace with the leading pack. This season, the team has scored 16 goals but also conceded 11. The next fixture on the schedule is this encounter on Saturday afternoon.
