RB Leipzig host PSV Eindhoven at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League.
Leipzig arrive at this fixture under genuine pressure. Martin Demichelis has managed just two wins from five Bundesliga matches, and a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como in the opening group stage match has done little to ease the scrutiny on his position. A home win here is not simply desirable — it may be necessary.
The situation is complicated by a long injury list. Demichelis has limited options across the squad, and how he sets up a depleted side against a PSV team with European ambitions of their own will shape the tone of the evening.
PSV arrive in better shape, though not without their own concerns. Peter Bosz's side have shown real attacking quality this season — scoring freely in the Eredivisie — but an injury list that stretches across multiple positions means Bosz will need to manage his resources carefully.
The visitors drew 1-1 with Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening Champions League fixture, a result that leaves them looking for a first win in the competition. A positive result in Leipzig would put them in a strong position in the standings.
Both sides need points, but for different reasons. Leipzig are fighting to stabilise a domestic and European campaign that has already shown too many cracks. PSV are chasing the win that would confirm their credentials at this level.

RB Leipzig vs PSV Eindhoven Probable lineups

In the Champions League standings, PSV sit 19th while Leipzig are placed 32nd — a gap that reflects PSV's stronger start to the European campaign and underlines how much Leipzig need a result here to avoid falling further adrift in the competition.
