RB Leipzig team news
Die Rotten Bullen boss Marco Rose will have to bring in a replacement for Mohamed Simakan, as the defender serves a one-match ban after picking up his third booking in the tournament in the first leg.
So Benjamin Henrichs, who started ahead of Simakan against Bochum anyway, should keep his place at right-back.
Defender Lukas Klostermann is ruled out with a hip injury, while Xaver Schlager is back from a domestic ban to reclaim his spot from Nicolas Seiwald in midfield.
Lois Openda is likely to get the nod over Christoph Baumgartner to feature alongside Benjamin Sesko in attack.
RB Leipzig possible XI: Gulacsi; Henrichs, Orban, Lukeba, Raum; Olmo, Haidara, Schlager, Simons; Openda, Sesko
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Blaswich, Gulacsi, Zingerle, Schlieck |
| Defenders: | Lukeba, Bitshiabu, Orban, Kohler, Raum, Lenz, Henrichs |
| Midfielders: | Schlager, Seiwald, Haidara, Kampl, Olmo, Elmas, Baumgartner, Simons |
