RB Leipzig hosts Hamburger SV amid recent struggles

RB Leipzig is set to host Hamburger SV at the Red Bull Arena this Sunday as both clubs attempt to recover from recent poor performances. Leipzig, led by new head coach Martin Demichelis, enters the match following a 3-1 Bundesliga loss to Werder Bremen and a 4-1 defeat against Como in the Champions League. The recent losses have drawn scrutiny regarding the team's high defensive line.

Hamburger SV currently sits at the bottom of the Bundesliga table with zero points and a goal difference of minus seven after two matches. Their recent form includes a 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund and a heavy 5-0 home defeat against Mainz 05. Leipzig has historically held the advantage in this matchup, winning the last four meetings between the two sides.
