At TSG Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig coach Werner expects an attractive game with an open goal. One regular defender could be missing.

Ole Werner expects an offensive spectacle from both teams at TSG Hoffenheim. "Both teams are in very, very good form and both are playing refreshing attacking soccer. Both sides have the future of soccer on the pitch in the form of many talented and exciting players who are just coming out. In that respect, it's a really cool game of soccer," said the RB Leipzig head coach ahead of this Saturday's Bundesliga match (3.30pm/Sky) at TSG.

After Leipzig's record start with 22 points from nine games, it is now important to keep the focus on the top. In Sinsheim, he may have to do without central defender Castello Lukeba, who is suffering from a shoulder injury sustained in the Stuttgart game (3:1). He would be replaced by El Chadaille Bitshiabu.
