RB Leipzig to rotate further at promoted FC St. Pauli

Marco Rose does not want to be blinded by FC St. Pauli's zero-point haul. "They may still be without points, but they played a very decent away game at Union Berlin. At home against Heidenheim, they were actually the better team and dominated the game, they just didn't score the goals. And they weren't without a chance against Augsburg either," said the RB Leipzig head coach ahead of Sunday's game (19:00/DAZN) at the Hanseatic side.

"Of course, zero points doesn't feel good for them in the end, but they'll try everything again this Sunday in front of their fans to get their first points," said Rose.

After the bitter 2-1 defeat at Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, the RB coach wants to rotate further: "We'll definitely bring in fresh players, we'll see how many fresh players there are now. We'll see who gets out of bed early in Hamburg."

After their first competitive defeat in seven months in Madrid, RB's 14-game unbeaten streak at the Millerntor in Hamburg could also come to an end. However, if Leipzig score, it would set the club record from 2019.
