RB Leipzig will continue their preparations for the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign with a pre-season friendly against Ipswich Town.
RB Leipzig will continue their preparations for the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign with a pre-season friendly against Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Thursday. The Portman is home to Ipswich Town. This will be the first meeting of both clubs. RB Leipzig will enter into the match on the back of a 2-1 defeat against Udinese on Wednesday. On the other hand, Ipswich Town is coming with a draw against newly promoted premier league side Luton Town. Both teams finished the game with a scoreline of 1-1. Talking about their league progress, Eintracht Frankfurt is still in the Bundesliga. On the other hand, Ipswich Town has been promoted from the EFL League One to the EFL Championship which is the second tier of English football.
Talking about injury concerns, RB Leipzig will start with three crucial misses in the game. The experienced goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, centre-back Lukas Klostermann and forward André Silva. Klostermann will be out of action till the early part of August due to a hip injury. Silva will be out of action till the middle part of August due to a hip injury. However, the major concern will be the injury of experienced goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi who will be out till mid-August due to physical discomfort. The absence of Peter Gulacsi may not dent RB Leipzig’s chance of winning the match. In his absence, Blaswich will take his place between the bars. On the other side, there is no injury concern in the Ipswich camp. The English team is expected to field a full squad.
RB Leipzig will enter the new season after winning the DFB Pokal against Eintracht Frankfurt. However, the last game against Udinese was not that great for the German side. However, things are very different for Ipswich Town. The English team has already been promoted and also managed to get a draw under their belt against Luton. It will be interesting to see whether Leipzig is able to turn the tables around on Thursday.
