RB Leipzig hopes to finish the season in style as they host mid-table Werder Bremen at the Red Bull Arena.
Location: Red Bull Arena
Date: 11/05/2024
Kick–Off: 2.30 PM
RB Leipzig will be playing in Europe’s elite next season, following their impressive 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund last time out. Their position would have only been strengthened by the recent coefficient qualification headed down to the Bundesliga following their performances in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League respectively.
The home side have enjoyed a rather successful season in the league, occupying fourth spot with two games left. Although it remains unrealistic, RB Leipzig can still mathematically finish inside the top two places behind current champions Bayer Leverkusen.
Realistically, all that RB Leipzig could potentially hope for is to finish third in the Bundesliga ahead of VFB Stuttgart. Leipzig are four points behind with two games left to play, so that would require Stuttgart to drop points in their final remaining two games.
As for their opponents Werder Bremen, they will once again be playing in Germany’s topflight next season. The away side is effectively safe barring a unique set of results, therefore they can start planning for next season’s campaign.
The previous meeting between the two teams resulted in a 1-1 draw. Lois Openda had his second-half goal cancelled out by Justin Njinmah.
