Leipzig host Leverkusen in the top match of the Bundesliga. The Saxons still have something to make up for from the first meeting.

For RB Leipzig, the top match in the Bundesliga is probably already about the last championship. Ahead of the clash with Bayer Leverkusen, the Saxons are twelve points behind the league leaders, and a defeat would mean a gap of 15. In addition, Leipzig have recently failed to win twice in a row. "Leverkusen have a great team at all levels," said coach Marco Rose. "They have built up the confidence and self-image to win games this season." Leverkusen are the only team in the league still without a defeat.
