Preview
RB Leipzig come into this after having secured a 4th place finish in the Bundesliga 2021-22 season with 58 points.
They also managed to win the DFB Pokal competition by beating Freiburg on penalties 4-2 in the finals after it finished 1-1 in regulation time.
The German side hope to use the pre-season to potential and maximise playing time for their squad before the season begins later this month.
After this, they face Liverpool in their final pre-season due to which victory is key in order to get players back into the groove.
On the other hand, Southampton last played in May during the EPL 2021-22 where they lost 4-1 to Leicester to complete a 15th place finish.
The Saints lost 4 of their last 5 matches in succession and drew the other one, leaving them in a winless state since last season.
A good start in the pre-season will regain confidence in the camp after the long break due to which we see Southampton taking this seriously.
Both teams last met in a club friendly in 2015 where Leipzig won 5-4 in an absolute thriller.
