It's early days in the Bundesliga and both RB Leipzig and Hertha BSC are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
The hosts Leipzig saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Champions League. Thankfully the previous game, versus İstanbul Başakşehir, was also a home game here at Red Bull Arena. The away team is better rested.
RB Leipzig form and stats
Perfect Bundesliga season at home so far for RB Leipzig 2 wins from 2 appearances.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Leipzig, as their goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi has completely shut out the opponents for 250 minutes in the Bundesliga.
The Leipzig supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host İstanbul Başakşehir in Champions League and win 2-0. Before that match, a Bundesliga win away at Augsburg.
The manager J. Nagelsmann will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Manchester United in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the RB Leipzig at home in the league. 7 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Hertha BSC form and stats
Hertha BSC, who have the most scored goals (7) away in Bundesliga, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Bundesliga, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss). It's a growing despair in Hertha BSC as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The manager B. Labbadia was unhappy after their last game, a Bundesliga match played at their home ground Olympiastadion Berlin. Hertha suffered a 0-2 loss to Stuttgart (placed 5th). A 3-4 defeat away at Bayern München before that.
7 goals so far away for Hertha BSC, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: six wins for RB Leipzig, one draw and one win for Hertha BSC. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
