„Unglaublich und Top-Nachricht: Er ist wieder zurück … mehr erfahren.“

 

After a strong start to the season in which Leipzig won their first two Bundesliga games and ended Bayer Leverkusen’s 35-game unbeaten league run with a 3-2 victory on August 31, they have drawn their last two domestic matches 0-0.

Their most recent stalemate was against newly-promoted St Pauli on September 22, and fans will have been concerned that it was their opponents who looked more threatening given they produced 15 shots from inside the penalty area compared to Die Roten Bullen’s eight.

Between these two draws, Leipzig also lost their first champions league match 2-1 against Atletico Madrid thanks to a 90th-minute winner from Jose Gimenez.

Of the 18 teams in the top flight, Marco Rose‘s side rank 14th for xG created, 14th for shots on target per match and just 15th for big chances created.

Rose spoke about his team’s recent struggles in front of goal and said that his side are not asserting themselves in games, but he reassured fans that he is capable of addressing the issue.

Leipzig’s record at Red Bull Arena has been strong for some time, with the club winning 16, drawing five and losing just two games at home in their last 23 league fixtures.

It should be noted that they have drawn three of their last six Bundesliga matches at home, although they did win the other three and only conceded twice in that period.
