Team News

RBL
FC Heidenheim
  • Skipper Willi Orban is available after suspension and is likely to come straight back into defence. Lois Openda is likely to return up front after starting on the bench for the last two.
  • Benjamin Henrichs is ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering an ACL injury, while Assan Ouédraogo has suffered another thigh injury. Xaver Schlager has a knee problem.
  • Antonio Nusa has suffered a knee injury and will be sidelined for at least six weeks. El Chadaille Bitshiabu missed the team bus for the trip to Augsburg last week and seems certain to remain on the fringes of the action.
  • Heidenheim played in the Europa Conference League Play-offs on Thursday evening, so it's all about Head Coach Frank Schmidt and his rotation wand.
  • Niklas Dorsch has a knee issue, while Maximilian Breunig has an ankle problem and is ruled out.
  • Frans Krätzig is not registered for European action, so is a great option to have up your sleeve.

Prediction

  • Leipzig have won all three meetings with minnows Heidenheim including the reverse fixture by the narrowest of margins.
  • Heidenheim were in Europa Conference League Play-off action on Thursday, while Leipzig, who made a premature Champions League exit, had all week to work on a game plan.
  • Leipzig can take advantage of the visitors European exertions in a comfortable win.
