Team News

RBL
Stuttgart
  • Marcelo Saracchi is recovering from an ACL injury, while Marcel Halstenberg has an ankle injury and Benjamin Henrichs has a knee injury.
  • Brian Brobbey will compete with Andre Silva up front.
  • Defender Mohamed Simakan has signed from Racing Strasbourg in France and could make a home debut in defence.
  • Another youngster Josko Gvardiol has signed from Dynamo Zagreb.
  • Borna Sosa registered a hat-trick of assists last weekend and has since been called up to the Croatia national team.
  • Nikolas Nartey, Tanguy Coulibaly and top scorer Sasa Kalajdzic all tested positive for COVID-19, but the latter pair have at least returned to training.
  • Naouirou Ahamada has a calf injury, while Momo Cissé has a foot injury and Lilian Egloff has had a foot op.
  • Mohamed Sankoh faces six months out with a serious knee injury, while new signing Chris Furich has already picked up a bad injury.
  • Talented youngster Ömer Beyaz joins on a free from Fenerbahce, but is not yet allowed to play.
  • Florian Müller has signed from Mainz to replace Gregor Kobel, who left for Borussia Dortmund.
  • Silas Wamangituka Fundu is still out with a knee injury and is suspended until September 11 after playing under a false identity.

Prediction

  • Stuttgart top the table after their 5-1 romp on the opening day, while Leipzig tamely lost in Mainz.
  • Stuttgart have only scored once in six games against Leipzig, and that was a penalty.
  • However, on home soil, Leipzig, with new striker Andre Silva, should fancy their chances of grabbing their first win for new coach Jesse Marsch.
