RB Leipzig are set to play host to Eintracht Frankfurt at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday for their latest Bundesliga game.
RB Leipzig come into this game on the back of a 2-0 loss to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool yesterday in the second leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. Second-half goals from star forward Mohamed Salah and Senegalese attacker Sadio Mane secured the win for Liverpool.
Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Pellegrino Matarazzo's Stuttgart last Saturday in the Bundesliga. Austria international Sasa Kalajdzic put Stuttgart ahead, but Serbian wing-back Filip Kostic scored the equalizer for Eintracht Frankfurt.
