In the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig will host Hertha Berlin at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
The hosts’ season has gotten off to a sluggish start, and after nine games and they are in 11th position. But they haven’t lost in their last two games, drawing 1-1 with Mainz the last time.
Leipzig defeated Celtic on Thursday to get back to winning ways in the UEFA Champions League, and they’ll be hoping to keep it up.
Hertha, on the other hand, has only won once this season but has avoided defeat in their previous five games, drawing four in a row.
Last week against Freiburg, they were held to a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Dodi Lukebakio and Suat Serdar. They are currently 14th in the standings.

Team News
Peter Gulasci, Lukas Klostermann, Konrad Laimer, and Dani Olmo will be injured for Leipzig on Saturday. Marcel Halstenburg is still questionable after suffering a rib injury in the draw with Mainz last weekend.
Given that the Slovenian international has missed his team’s last two games from the start, Kevin Kampl could return to Rose’s midfield. Still, aside from that, the starting lineup is expected to remain the same as the one that defeated Celtic in Glasgow on Tuesday.
Jessic Ngankam, Filip Uremovic, Jean-Paul Boetius, Kelian Nsona, Rune Jarstein, and Linus Gechter are all unable to go to Leipzig for Hertha’s match against Leipzig.
Former Manchester City striker Stefan Jovetic may be the frontline leader since forwards David Selke and Wilfried Kanga have both been sick with the flu and may not be pushed right away.

RB Leipzig 2-0 Hertha Berlin
Leipzig is on a three-game streak at home and has won three of their previous four games overall. They have an excellent history versus the guests, and they should be confident in their ability to prevail.
