RBL are a force at home! The top facts from #RBLSVW

RB Leipzig drew 1-1 against SV Werder Bremen on Bundesliga Matchday 33. Here you can find all the facts about the game! 

Personnel Facts

• In addition to Xaver Schlager(torn cruciate ligament) and Xavi (suspension), Dani Olmo (muscular problems) was also missing against Werder Bremen.
• David Raum and Benjamin Sesko also rotated out of the starting XI, so that in the end there were five changes compared to the Hoffenheim game. Lukas Klostermann, Mohamed Simakan, Nicolas Seiwald, Christoph Baumgartner and Yussuf Poulsen played from the start this time.
• Benjamin Henrichs received his 4th yellow card. Lois Openda wasn’t booked, so no player will be suspended for the final game of the season at Eintracht Frankfurt.
   

Goal Facts

• Series: Benjamin Sesko continues to extend his goal series! He scored for the 6th time in a row and now has 13 goals this season – 10 (!) of them in the second half of the season. Incidentally, the club record is 7 goals in a row by Timo Werner…
• Joker I: It was also another substitute goal for the Red Bulls. This was the 14th time a sub scored for RBL – a league record.
• Joker II: Sesko scored as a sub for the 4th time, drawing level with the league-best Christoph Baumgartner and Mathys Tel in that regard.
• Scorer: Mohamed Simakan collected his 4th league assist. In the last 3 games, Mo was directly involved in 3 goals (2 assists, 1 goal).
• Home record: The goal to make it 1-1 was our 40th home goal of the season – a new RBL record in the Bundesliga.
• Goalscoring duo: Lois Openda (24) and Benjamin Sesko (13) have now scored 37 league goals put together and are chasing the record set by Timo Werner (28) and Patrick Schick (10) from the 2019/20 season.

Table Facts

• We now have 75 goals this season.
• Due to VfB Stuttgart’s 7th draw and Friday’s win, 3rd place is no longer possible and we now want to maintain 4th place.
• Even though there was no clean sheet this time, 37 goals conceded are still the second-best defensive value in the league (after Leverkusen).
• It was our 10th Bundesliga and 11th competitive game in a row without defeat.
• The Red Bulls go into the summer break with a home series of 7 unbeaten games (5 wins, 2 draws).
