With the Bundesliga title clinched, and only Europe to play for RB Leipzig featured two games in a short week, mirroring their sister club in Salzburg.
Playing fellow investor upstart 1899 Hoffenheim, the very team which gave Julian Nagelsmann his start as manager when he was just 28 years of age, Leipzig won a 2-0 game that was far closer than the score line suggests. A frantic first fifteen minutes saw a brace from the young Spaniard Dani Olmo, and Leipzig would continue on the front foot for most of the first half. As mentioned last week, Leipzig lost their only fit center back due to a red card and this week saw a backline featuring all fullbacks.
