RB Leipzig before the compulsory victory: is the turn against Aston Villa?

Kiel, Deutschland - rb Leipzig faces a decisive Champions League game against Aston Villa after the team is in the last place in the current league phase with zero points from five games. Coach Marco Rose urgently has to win a victory in order to maintain the remaining chances of moving into the playoffs. "We played into the situation ourselves," said Rose before the game, which takes place on Tuesday evening at 9:00 p.m. (DAZN). Another victory will be needed for the progress in January against Sporting Lisbon and Sturm Graz, while Aston Villa is currently in 9th place with 10 points, reports RB Live.

The situation is particularly tense because RB Leipzig's squad is filled with injuries. Kevin Kampl, who most recently struggled with injuries, has hope for a return, but the unadorned Xaver Schlager remains a big weakening for the team. While Aston Villa relies on her recent success over Bayern Munich, Leipzig hopes for a series of three needed victories from her remaining games in order to possibly get into the knockout phase. "The obligation is a victory against Aston Villa," Rose continues, while the conditions for the game are considered challenging, since over 4500 tickets are already unsuccessful, as the LVZ reports.

The team is required to act on both the square and to win the support of the fans in order to take the tense pressure off the shoulders. The respective performance of the old stars and the motivation of the squad could be decisive for the outcome of the game, while the media and fans also observe the coaching discussion in the background. In order to get on in the Champions League, only the possibility of taking a step towards these ambitions by winning Aston Villa.
