The game starts off pretty disjointed. Leipzig has the ball a lot, but always loses it again and again. Wiesbaden plays against the ball with a chain of five and makes the spaces in their own half narrow.

Marco Rose warned in advance not to take the game lightly. “If we do Larifari and think that it can be done with half our asses, we will have problems,” stated the RB coach and demanded full concentration from his team: “SV Wehen Wiesbaden is a very unpleasant second division team to play against.

The guests from Leipzig got off to a strong start in the new season and already seem very well-coordinated despite a completely renewed squad. RB has won six of the first seven competitive games, already clinched its first title of the season with the Supercup and also got off to a successful start in the premier class. Above all, the new offensive dream pair of Lois Openda and Xavi Simons impresses week after week. Simons also prepared Timo Werner’s decisive 1-0 win in Mönchengladbach at the weekend. However, Werner is missing today with back problems, Xavi and Openda will be rested for the time being.

Is the duel with RB coming at exactly the wrong time? Not for coach Markus Kauczinski. “We’re actually happy that things are moving on straight away, that we don’t have to put up with such a bad game,” said the coach of the second division team. Kauczinski sees his team as a “small lamp compared to Leipzig”, but still believes in a chance. “This is a game in which you have to be at your limit. We won’t get many chances, so we have to take advantage of them,” said the 53-year-old.
