• Leipzig are also the only side in the current campaign who have yet to concede a goal from distance, a set piece or in the opening quarter of an hour.
• While RB Leipzig normally line up in a classic 4-3-3, the interpretation of this system is very open in possession.
• Leipzig’s game is clearly geared towards the flanks. The wingers initially stick to the touchline to make the pitch as wide as possible.
