In the second hand of the Europa League playoff, on Thursday, August 30th, the RB Leipzig – Zorya will be played. The fight will take place on the Red Bull Arena, starting at 17:30. The host team must conquer their victory to qualify in the group stage.
In the tour, the game was played in one direction. Taking advantage of the elimination of Lednev in the 17th minute, Leipzig took control of the game, creating no less than 30 goals! However, Werner & co. failed to score even once, the game ended with the score of 0-0. Timo Werner is still looking for a new form, not having a goal scored this season.
Over the weekend, Rangnick’s band has suffered one of the toughest defeats this year. Although he drove from the first minute to Dortmund after Augustin’s success, he would finally give up with the score of 1-4. Noteworthy that Leipzig has received a goal in four of its five moves so far, including from teams such as Craiova or Viktoria Koln. On the other hand, Zorya did not do much better in the last round of the championship. Although he took advantage of his own field, he recorded a new defeat, 0-2 with Desna. Thus, Zorya has reached four consecutive games without victory. In three of these games the offensive did not find the way to the opponent’s goal.
Unhappy with not having the doubles, Rangnick wanted to bring Sebastian Rudy from Bayern, but the transfer failed. “The Taurians” turned their attention to Everton’s Ademola Lookman, but the talks did not make any significant progress.
Probable teams:
RB Leipzig (4-2-2-2): Mvogo – Klostermann, Konate, Orban, Laimer – Laimer, Ilsanker – Forsberg, Bruma – Werner, Matheus Cunha
Zorya (4-3-3): Luis Felipe – Cheberko, Svatok, Tymchyk, Vernydub – Gordienko, Kharatin, Karavaev – Khomchenovsky, Ratão, Lunyov
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.48
