RB Leipzig will host Hamburg at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. Despite multiple high-profile departures in the summer, the home side have adapted superbly and now sit third in the table with 13 points from six matches.
They played out a 1-1 draw away at Borussia Dortmund just before the break, with Christoph Baumgartner opening the scoring seven minutes into the contest before their opponents drew level midway through the half.
Hamburg can be proud of their efforts since returning to the German top flight this season, although there is still a long way to go. They carried out a 4-0 demolition of floundering Mainz last time out, with goals from three different players including Rayan Philippe, who netted a brace as the newly-promoted side recorded their first win over the 05ers in over a decade.
Trending
The visitors sit mid-table in ninth place, with eight points from six matches and will be looking to test their mettle against one of the stronger sides in the division this weekend.

Die Roten Bullen are undefeated in their last five matches picking up four consecutive wins in that period. They have won their two home games this season and will fancy their chances ahead of the weekend clash.
