[Matchday 11 Preview] Union vs RB Leipzig: Can we disrupt their rhythm again? 🔴⚪

Following the international break, we have a massive test coming to the Alte Försterei on Saturday, November 21. RB Leipzig is visiting for a 15:30 kickoff, and if recent history tells us anything, we are in for a tactical battle.

The Tactical Clash:
We know exactly how Leipzig wants to play: tight central combinations and rapid through-balls. However, the Alte Försterei is their kryptonite. The intense atmosphere and our compact pressing historically force Leipzig into their lowest passing accuracy in the final third (under 62%) when they play here.

Form & History:
Both clubs have shown flashes of brilliance but also vulnerabilities to heavy defeats this autumn. Last season, this fixture produced fireworks, with each team winning their respective home match by a 3-1 scoreline. If we can replicate the intensity of our December 2025 victory, we have a real chance to take all three points.

Discussion:
To get a result against Leipzig, we need to completely suffocate their midfield. Who do you think should anchor our midfield next Saturday to ensure they do not find those central passing lanes? Let’s hear your tactical adjustments below!
