RB Leipzig will host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts are second in the league table, though they trail league leaders Bayern Munich by eight points. Frankfurt have six wins, two fewer than Leipzig.
Die Roten Bullen are unbeaten in their last three games across all competitions. They were held to a goalless draw by Borussia Monchengladbach in their previous league outing, and they bounced back with a 3-1 win over second-tier side Magdeburg in the DFB-Pokal round of 16. Antonio Nusa scored in the first half, while Christoph Baumgartner bagged a brace.
The visitors are winless in their last two games. They lost 3-0 at home to Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League last month and were held to a 1-1 draw by Wolfsburg in their previous league outing. Michy Batshuayi opened his goalscoring account for the season, scoring an equalizer from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
