"They are extremely dangerous when they turn over the play and are also a threat from set pieces."
"They have a good structure in possession and look to find space before increasing the tempo. They are really strong from counter-attacks, they have a clear and clever way of being successful from them."
"The key will be to avoid too many mistakes in possession so we don't give Gladbach the chance to break on us."
"We also need to carry a real threat in the final third, because they've defended extremely well in recent weeks. Set pieces - at both ends - will play a big part."
RB Leipzig sit second in the Bundesliga, six points behind Bayern Munich after 12 games. Since a 6-0 opening defeat to Bayern, Leipzig have lost only once domestically, a 3-1 reverse to Hoffenheim. Head coach Ole Werner warned that possession mistakes must be avoided to prevent Gladbach counter-attacks and emphasized the opponent's set-piece danger. Werner described Gladbach as having solid patterns, a clear style, good structure in possession, and strength on turnovers and counters. Leipzig must provide a genuine threat in the final third, defend set pieces at both ends, and limit errors to restrict break opportunities.
