Bundesliga - Rose warns against Hoffenheim and gives Forsberg guarantee

Marco Rose has warned his team against Hoffenheim, who are strong away from home. "We need a good performance tomorrow and have to defend against their power," said the RB Leipzig head coach ahead of the Bundesliga top match this Saturday (18:30/Sky). Even without striker Wout Weghorst, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim are a team with really good players and a lot of quality. Ihlas Bebou is similarly strong with his header. He can also latch onto balls and is physically strong. He is also a target player who perhaps even goes deeper due to his pace," analyzed Rose.

He also guarantees that club icon Emil Forsberg will play in his last home appearance. But not in the starting eleven. "We had an intense Champions League game two days ago, in which Emil played almost 75 minutes. We have another important game on Tuesday. Emil will definitely be on the pitch. We'll see when and how, but he'll be on the pitch."

Hoffenheim have won five of their seven matches this season away from home. However, the statistics speak in favor of the Saxons. In 14 Bundesliga matches, there have been eight wins and three defeats. Rose wants to "really get going again at the end of the year. Wednesday's success against Bern gave us renewed energy, which we now want to take with us into the last five days. We don't want to make a big issue of fatigue."
