Preview
Freiburg comes into this after a 2-1 win over Hertha BSC in their previous match and are looking to make it 3 out of 3 in the league.
Lienhart scored for the visitors before Piatek equalized but Petersen’s 78th minute effort was enough to secure all three points for Freiburg.
This win took them 4th in the Bundesliga table with 15 points and remain the only side yet to taste defeat this season.
On the other hand, Leipzig beat Bochum 3-0 in their last and followed it with a club friendly 1-2 loss against Slask Wroclaw.
Nkunku led the way with a brace while Silva also scored for Leipzig in their Bundesliga win as their resurgence continued.
This pushed Leipzig to 9th in the table with 10 points and they will look to build on this result.
Both sides met last season in the Bundesliga where RB Leipzig beat Freiburg 3-0 away.

RB Leipzig possible 11:
Gulácsi, Gvardiol, Orban, Klostermann, Angelino, Kampl, Haidara, Mukiele, Forsberg, Nkunku and Silva
Prediction: Freiburg 2-1 Leipzig
Both teams are evenly matched on paper and we can expect a highly contested clash.
The forwards on both sides are in a rich vein of form even though the table suggests different.
Freiburg have begun well and could seize the initiative. The home support gives them the advantage and we foresee a Freiburg win here.
Leipzig has a quality side but to sustain the pressure of the hosts could be a difficult ask.
Players to watch out for: Sallai, Höler, Silva and Nkunku.
