RB Leipzig are showing signs of recovery after a turbulent start to the season, but the road ahead remains demanding. Three consecutive wins, including a 2-0 Bundesliga victory at Schalke on October 31, have lifted the club to fourth in the table with 15 points from eight games. That run also included a 4-0 home win over Elversberg and a 2-1 DFB-Pokal victory at Rot-Weiss Essen, securing a place in the last 16 of the cup. The momentum has eased pressure on coach Martin Demichelis, who faced serious scrutiny after heavy defeats to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid earlier in the campaign. Demichelis addressed the speculation directly, telling Bild that he would walk away himself if the club's targets are not met by season's end. His candour, combined with backing from sporting director Marcel Schäfer and Red Bull's head of global soccer Roger Schmidt, appears to have steadied the atmosphere around the club. Squad depth remains a concern. Winger Johan Bakayoko has played just 144 minutes this season and Bild reports Leipzig would not stand in his way if he sought a January exit. On the other side of the transfer ledger, transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio links the club with 19-year-old Juventus forward Dzenan Licina as a potential winter addition. Next up is a Champions League home tie against Manchester City on November 4, a fixture that will test how far Leipzig's renewed confidence can carry them.
