RB Leipzig - Elversberg

Can RB Leipzig regain their domestic composure when they host Elversberg at Red Bull Arena Leipzig on 24 October 2026? The hosts enter matchday 7 looking to bounce back from a difficult week in high-profile competition. Tactically, the expected XI features a dynamic midfield anchored by Brajan Gruda and Rocco Reitz, tasked with feeding the attacking duo of Tidiam Gomis and Christopher Nkunku. Defensively, the side relies on the experience of Willi Orban and David Raum to stabilize the backline after recent setbacks.

Elversberg arrive with momentum following a high-scoring 4-3 victory over Augsburg, though they face a significant challenge with key absences including Jan Gyamerah and Cole Campbell. The visitors will look to exploit any lingering defensive fragility in the Leipzig ranks, relying on the creativity of Maurice Krattenmacher and Frederik Schmahl. While Leipzig dominated their last meeting in 2014, this encounter marks a fresh test for both sides.
