On Tuesday evening, 18th December 2023 at 18:30 CET, a formidable opponent will visit the Weser in the shape of RB Leipzig. SVW will have to put in a stellar performance if they want to pick up all three points. Of course, having one or two players out injured does not make it any easier. “Everything has to go right for us,” said Ole Werner at the press conference on Monday ahead of the final home game of the year. “But in these conditions, under the floodlights and with support from outside, we’ll definitely have a chance of winning the game.”

“Against Dortmund, the team showed that we can hold our own against a top opponent,” said Thorup, who immediately after the game shifted his focus onto the short preparation time for the upcoming encounter. FCA will take around 2,500 fans with them to Stuttgart on Wednesday and will look to create a good atmosphere in the away end. VfB currently sit fourth in the table, but suffered a 3-0 defeat in Munich last time out. Despite this, the Swabian side are “one of the big surprises so far. They’ve had a good first half of the season and are particularly strong in possession,” said Thorup with regard to our next opponents.
