Team News and Injury Concerns
RB Leipzig will be without key men Rocco Reitz, Assan Ouédraogo, and Christoph Baumgartner, all sidelined through injury — a blow to their midfield depth.
PSV Eindhoven’s absentee list is longer, with Sam Lammers, Kiliann Sildillia, Mikkel Bro Hansen, Alassane Pléa, Sami Ouaissa, and Jerdy Schouten all unavailable. That’s a significant chunk of their squad missing, which could force Peter Bosz into some tactical rethinking up front and at the back.
Prediction
With Leipzig playing at home and carrying fewer injury concerns, they enter as slight favorites on paper. However, PSV’s attacking unpredictability means this fixture is far from a foregone conclusion — expect a tightly contested affair that could swing on a single moment of quality.
