We unpack the key moments behind the Hoffenheim defeat, including why Leipzig's structure wasn't the issue, what really cost them, and how the momentum turned. Our Player Watch looks at Fisnik Asllani vs. Péter Gulácsi, examining their performances and who had the bigger impact.

Then we dive into a full RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen tactical preview, using complete FBref datasets to break down Bremen's strengths, weaknesses, and defensive vulnerabilities — plus Leipzig's best routes to goal, predicted XI, key match-ups, and a data-backed score prediction. Another Player Watch spotlights Jens Stage vs Assan Ouedraogo, explaining what each will try to do on matchday and how Leipzig can limit Stage's influence.

We also cover the latest RB Leipzig injuries and suspensions, and close the episode by answering listener questions from tigerstylez on X formally known as twitter about tactics, squad balance, and needed adjustments after the Hoffenheim performance.

A must-listen for RB Leipzig fans and Bundesliga tactics enthusiasts.
