With Champions League qualification secured, RB Leipzig will look to maintain their unbeaten streak when they host Werder Bremen in Bundesliga action at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday, 11th May 2024.
Marco Rose’s men are on a ten-match unbeaten run across all competitions and will be aiming to secure maximum points against Europe-chasing Werder Bremen.
Match Preview
RB Leipzig’s Current Form
RB Leipzig saw their four-match winning streak come to an end with a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim last weekend.
Despite the result extending their unbeaten streak to ten matches, the Red Bulls slipped four points behind Stuttgart in the standings.
Currently in fourth place, Leipzig are guaranteed a Champions League spot for next season.
However, with only two games left, their goal is to maintain their position and prevent Borussia Dortmund from overtaking them.

Werder Bremen are also fighting for a European spot. They are on a three-match unbeaten streak, which includes a 3-0 win over Augsburg in their last away game.
Sitting in 11th place, Bremen are three points shy of seventh-place Freiburg, which currently holds the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
A win against Leipzig would keep Bremen’s European hopes alive heading into the final round of fixtures.
