1st Bundesliga - RB coach Rose expects Dortmund to be furious after cup defeat
Former BVB and current Leipzig coach Marco Rose expects Dortmund to show defiance against his team after their cup exit. "Of course, you can assume that they'll perform differently in a home game with the pressure that's on," said Rose ahead of the Bundesliga chasing duel at Borussia Dortmund this Saturday (18:30/Sky).
"We have to be wide awake and watch out. I also believe that the boys - and I know them - won't put up with it and are a bit angry. That's why we can expect an open fight from the first minute," added Rose on Friday. Borussia were eliminated in the last 16 of the DFB Cup on Wednesday with a 2-0 defeat at VfB Stuttgart.
Timo Werner will continue to miss out for Leipzig due to adductor problems. Substitute goalkeeper Leopold Zingerle is likely to miss out due to a stomach bug. Otherwise, according to Rose, everyone apart from the long-term injuries is fit for action. RB have won four of their last five competitive matches against Dortmund. The most recent result was a 2-0 win in the cup quarter-finals in April, while the Saxons were beaten 2-1 by BVB in the championship in March.
