RB Leipzig form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for RB Leipzig so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-4 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Leipzig are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The supporters enjoyed Leipzig's previous game versus Borussia M'gladbach (placed 13th), a Bundesliga 4-1 win played at home. Attacker Christopher Nkunku got a player rating of 9.04 in the game. "Man of the match" Nkunku scored one goal, served one assist, hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 27 successful passes (of 33 total).

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Manchester City in the Champions League.

A quick return to home after this game, as Leipzig are hosting DSC Arminia Bielefeld in the Bundesliga only three days away.

The attacking power of Leipzig when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, RB Leipzig have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
