SpVgg Greuther Fürth vs. RB Leipzig
In the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig slipped from 4th place in the table with their recent 1-1 draw at Freiburg. Now Hoffenheim are the new fourth in the table with two points more than Rasenball. However, as coach Domenico Tedesco’s team wants to play in the Champions League next season, Leipzig will have to reclaim this position. A fitting start to this objective would be an away win at bottom-placed Fürth.
Greuther Fürth lost 2-1 to Bochum on the last matchday and is now winless in three games. Coach Stefan Leitl’s team, nine points behind, has little chance of staying in the relegation zone. But the Spielvereinigung does not want to give up and also wants to score against Leipzig.

With 41 points, Red Bull are in 5th place in the table for the time being.

Predicted line-up – last update on 11 March 2022
Greuther Fürth will have to continue to do without Kehr, Ngankam, Jung and Funk against Leipzig. Most recently, coach Leitl had a 4-1-2-1-2 system played with a narrow diamond in midfield. Before that, Fürth played a 4-3-3 system. Both formations are also conceivable against Leipzig. Should the Kleeblätter play in a 4-3-3, Nielsen will be in the starting line-up for Dudziak or Christiansen.
Since RB Leipzig did not have to play in the Europa League on Thursday, coach Tedesco does not have to worry about possible load management. Rasenball play in a 3-4-1-2 system, which Leipzig interpret very offensively. Most recently, Poulsen started up front instead of Silva. However, the Dane did not score, which is why Silva could again get the opportunity in the starting eleven.
