RB Leipzig under pressure: Marco Rose before the decisive duel in Hoffenheim!

Leipzig. A shock for RB Leipzig! Eljif Elmas, the talented player of the northern Macedonian national team, will be out until the end of the year. The reason? A severe structural thigh injury, which he suffered against Latvia in the 1-0 victory. The year 2024 will be a lost year for Elmas. RB coach Marco Rose faces a decisive challenge, because his team has not won in the last three games and urgently has to score to keep the Champions League dreams alive.

The upcoming game against the newly formed Hoffenheimers, which is coming up on Saturday at 3:30 p.m., could bring a turn for the Leipziger. Hoffenheim brought a fresh air into the team under the new coach Christian Ilzer, who replaced Pellegrino Matarazzo. Ilzer, known for his success in Austria, has directed the TSG in a new direction and will do everything possible to lead the weakening team out of the crisis. With only nine points in the account, Hoffenheim is currently in 15th place and urgently needs a victory to free yourself from the relegation zone.

RB Leipzig must score

The situation for RB Leipzig is tense. While Elmas fails, the fans hope that Castello Lukeba and Lutsharel Geertruida will be fit in time to be able to play against Hoffenheim. So far, the lawn ballers have collected 21 points this season and are in second place, but the competition is not sleeping. Marco Rose now has to do everything possible to prepare the team for the next game in order to secure the urgently needed points and not endanger the Champions League plans. Time is pushing and the nerves are bare!
