Bundesliga record against Leipzig
5 games, 1 draw, 4 defeats, 1:7 goal difference
Looking back
Leipzig won 1-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in the corresponding fixture earlier this season.
Out of sorts
Both teams have suffered a dip in form of late. The hosts have failed to win either of their last two league games, while VfB have racked up three successive defeats.
Super-subs
VfB have scored a club record 14 goals off the bench this season, while nine of RB Leipzig’s goals have come from substitutes – the second-most in the division behind Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side.
Left-leaning
Twenty-one of Stuttgart’s league goals this term have come via the left flank – more than any other team in the Bundesliga. Leipzig’s impressive tally of 14 goals from attacks down the left-hand side is the third-highest number in the division.
Strong in the tackle
VfB have won 3,485 challenges in the Bundesliga this season, with Leipzig winning 3,439 – putting them second and third respectively in that particular category.
