Form and context

Rot-Weiß Essen host RB Leipzig in the DFB Pokal on 27 October at 17:00 UTC. Essen beat SSV Jahn Regensburg 1-0 at home in their most recent outing, their third win in their last five matches in all competitions. Leipzig arrive after a 4-0 home win over SV Elversberg, but that followed heavy defeats to Real Madrid and Bayern München.

Team news

  • Rot-Weiß Essen: Coach Uwe Koschinat says the Hafenstraße stadium should be a factor against Leipzig. No confirmed team news on players yet.
  • RB Leipzig: No confirmed team news yet.

What the numbers say

  • Essen have averaged 1.8 goals scored and 0.8 conceded across their last 10 matches in all competitions.
  • Leipzig have averaged 2.3 goals scored and 1.9 conceded across their last 10 matches in all competitions.
  • Leipzig's recent run in all competitions includes a 4-0 win over Elversberg, a 4-1 loss at Real Madrid and a 6-1 loss at Bayern München.
  • The prediction model gives the home side 10%, a draw 45% and an away win 45%.

Our view

Essen have been solid at home and Koschinat is counting on the Hafenstraße crowd to make a difference. Leipzig have shown scoring power but also defensive fragility in their recent matches in all competitions, so this could be closer than the level gap suggests. The model sees little separating a draw and an away win.

Most likely outcome: away win - Leipzig's attacking output outweighs Essen's home resilience.
