- Before the confrontation with Bochum, RB Leipzig carries an emotional energy.
RB Leipzig amped up their emotional energy before their household clash against VfL Bochum this coming Saturday (3:15 PM/Sky) in the Bundesliga. Marco Rose's squad put on a public display today at the Cottaweg, with a large group of spectators watching. Only the recently injured Eljif Elmas and El Chadaille Bitshiabu completed individual drills but are predicted to rejoin group training by the week's end. Christoph Baumgartner, who had a minor knee operation, and Xaver Schlager, who underwent knee surgery, also had additional practice sessions.
Following a 4-1 victory over Rot-Weiss Essen in the DFB-Pokal's initial round, RB begins their league journey against Bochum. The Saxons should remain cautious, as Bochum managed to snatch a point from a 0-0 tie at the Red Bull Arena back in October. RB secured a 4-1 victory in the corresponding fixture held in the Ruhr region.
RB Leipzig's next Bundesliga opponent is VfL Bochum, which they will face in Bochum this coming Saturday. Following their impressive 4-1 victory over Rot-Weiss Essen in the DFB-Pokal, RB Leipzig will aim to continue their form against the team from Bochum.
