The fear of a false start: RB Leipzig against Stuttgart already under pressure

The next Bundesliga game is on the program for RB Leipzig on Friday. A complete false start should be avoided against VfB Stuttgart.

Leipzig – First defeat and then against the league leader! on RB Leipzig comes on Friday evening (8.30 p.m. / DAZN) at the first home game of the season against the VfB Stuttgart a tough job too.

Especially because the Swabians travel to Saxony with a lot of tailwind and self-confidence after their 5: 1 success via SpVgg Greuther Fürth.

Confidence, which the Red Bulls probably lost a little after their embarrassing performance at 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Sunday.

Therefore, coach Jesse Marsch (47) will do everything this week to bring the euphoria that was clearly felt after the cup game at SV Sandhausen back into the group.

The fans could help, who for the first time can watch a Bundesliga match in the Red Bull Arena in large numbers and will hopefully whip their team forward.

Another factor could be returnees Yussuf Poulsen (27). The Danish EM driver has made up his training deficit and is ready for action on Friday.

A welcome support for strike partner André Silva (25), who was obviously making an effort in Mainz, but could not really be integrated into the Leipzig game.

But this is also due to the fact that the way to the last third was often blocked on Sunday. Unimaginative flanks across the last line of defense will not be the adequate solution to this problem for future games either.

What it takes are good and quick ideas to create the necessary danger. It is known that the Spaniard Dani Olmo (23) can deliver this. However, the 23-year-old is not expected back on Cottaweg until Friday, which of course rules out a game against Stuttgart. If everything goes according to plan, he can be on the pitch at VfL Wolfsburg on August 29th.

The fact is: There is a lot at stake for grass ball sports on Friday so early in the season. There have never been two defeats at the start of the Bundesliga season.

If you consider that on the fourth day of the game the FC Bayern Munich waiting, the thought of a total false start quickly arises. It remains to be seen how Marsch and his team will deal with this situation.
