Coach Marco Rose must be worried as Amadou Haidara suffered a slight injury against Mainz on the weekend. Also, David Raum, Nicolas Seiwald, Xaver Schlager, and Assan Ouedraogo all will be sidelined for this game. 

Leipzig is in the 31st position in the UCL 2024-25 league table right now, but they can not be neglected as they will look for the first point of their UCL campaign.
