Cottbus welcomes RB Leipzig: cup battle in a sold-out stadium!
A highly anticipated cup game is scheduled for October 28, 2025: RB Leipzig will face third division club Energie Cottbus. After an impressive 6-0 win against Augsburg, Leipzig has the status of Bayern Munich's closest rivals and will want to carry this momentum into the DFB Cup game. However, Ole Werner, the Leipzig coach, warns against excessive arrogance and emphasizes that his team has to take the game seriously in order to avoid a turbulent course. After all, Cottbus hasn't lost in their home stadium this season, which doesn't make the task any easier, as MDR reports.
Energie Cottbus, under the leadership of Claus-Dieter Wollitz, won against second division side Hannover 96 in the first round of the DFB Cup and is determined to delight the fans in the sold-out stadium, which can accommodate 19,700 spectators. Wollitz is looking forward to the atmosphere that the cup game will bring and is hoping for an exciting evening in Lausitz. The stadium becomes a fortress on Tuesday evening at 8:45 p.m. and the supporters are ready to support their team while RB Leipzig does everything on the pitch to live up to its role as favorites.
The lineups and the pressure of expectations
Expectations are high for RB Leipzig after the team remained unbeaten in their last seven competitive games. Before that, however, there was the sobering 6-0 loss against Bayern Munich, which is still anchored in the players' minds. According to Kicker it will be exciting to see which players Ole Werner sends onto the field to defeat Cottbus. The strategy will be crucial not only to motivate the team, but also to protect them from the strong home team from Cottbus, who could prove to be a difficult bulwark to penetrate.
It's no secret that the Cottbus team is in a good mood in their own stadium. The fans will play a significant role in pushing their team forward. A cup game always has a special appeal - and the pressure to please the fans can be priceless. For Leipzig it is now a matter of mastering the balancing act between favorite status and tension.
