RB Leipzig secured qualification for the Europa League last time out as they claimed an impressive 2-1 win over Premier League champions Manchester City.

Achim Beierlorzer’s side will now turn their attention to the Bundesliga. They have failed to pick up any points in each of their last three games, losing to Hoffenheim, Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin in succession.

With 18 points from 14 games, Leipzig are 11th in the Bundesliga table, level on points with Frankfurt and Saturday’s visitors.

Meanwhile, Borussia Monchengladbach failed to return to winning ways last time out as they suffered a humbling 6-0 home defeat against Freiburg.

Adolf Hütter’s men will now head into Saturday’s game seeking to avoid falling to a third consecutive defeat for the first time since March.
