Confidence will certainly not be an issue thanks to their massive win in the previous meeting, while the need to merely avoid defeat places all the pressure on the home team.
It all seems perfectly set up for a side that seems to enjoy playing away more than home turf at the moment, winning 12 out of the last 14 on the road in all competitions compared to just four out of 13 on home soil.
What’s more, RB Leipzig have certainly looked vulnerable at the back of late – keeping just one clean sheet in 10 and conceding six times in just their two most recent games.
