RB Leipzig will host Heidenheim at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have endured an overall difficult campaign but remain in contention for Champions League football as they sit fourth in the league table with 37 points from 22 matches.
They played out a goalless draw away at Augsburg last time out and had a chance to win the game at the death but failed to capitalize as Kosta Nedeljkovic's close-range header cannoned off the crossbar.
Heidenheim, meanwhile, have endured a poor campaign and look set to return to the German second tier after a historic 2023-24 season. They were beaten 2-0 by Mainz last time out in the Bundesliga before crashing out of Europe on Thursday following a 3-1 home defeat to Copenhagen in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League knockout playoff tie.
Trending
The visitors sit 17th in the league table with just 14 points from 22 matches. They are only one point above last-placed Holstein Kiel and risk ending the gameweek at the bottom of the pile should they fail to pick up a result in Saxony.
