For Leipzig’s David Raum, Leipzig’s match against Hoffenheim will be a meeting with his former club. Angeliño, on the other hand, loaned to Hoffenheim, meets his former colleagues against the RB. The Spaniard still has a valid contract with RB until the summer of 2025. But both teams will meet in the Bundesliga on November 5, but then at TSG.
