On the other hand, Stuttgart began their season with a crushing 5-1 win over newly promoted, Greuther Furth.

Kempf scored a brace while strikes from Endo, Klement and Ghaddioui ensured victory for Stuttgart as they rose to the top of the table.

Leweling pulled one back for Greuther in extra time but it proved to be a mere consolation effort.

RB Leipzig won 2-0 the last time both sides met in the league in April, 2021 with Haidara and Forsberg scoring the crucial goals in the second half.

The Bundesliga runners-up have won 5 out of the last 6 matches between the two sides and hence hold the aces in this one.
