Welcome! Thanks for joining us as we see if DFB Cup holders RB Leipzig can make it past Wehen Wiesbaden in the first round of the 2023/24 competition. Like Leipzig, Wiesbaden were also in action on Saturday, losing 2-0 at home to fellow promoted club Elversberg. They've collected eight points from a possible 21 since returning to Bundesliga 2 via the play-offs, following a three-year absence. Head coach Markus Kauczinski had a brief top-slight spell in charge of Ingolstadt in 2016, suffering nine defeats across 12 games.
Mathisen gets in the way of Carvalho's chipped pass into the box, but inadvertently heads the ball across his goal and straight to Šeško, who gobbles up the chance from close range. That's four goals in seven Leipzig appearances for the young Slovenian! Triple chance! Šeško runs in on the Wehen goal, but places his shot too close to Stritzel, who blocks Poulsen on the rebound. Carvalho then scoops over, with the red shirts swarming in an attempt to put off the Liverpool loanee. Lee! Big chance for Wehen as Lee scoots into the box and takes aim, but Gulacsi dives to his left to beat it clear and just out of Fechner's reach at the far post. Great play by the Bayern II loanee! Worth a go! Defender Mockenhaupt pops up on the edge of the Leipzig area, driving over following a promising Wehen attack.
Here we go! Leipzig get their title defence under way. Can they join the likes of Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen in the second round? Kick-off! Long-time servantPoulsen was in the Leipzig team the last time they met Wiesbaden in the 2013/14 3. Liga (Germany's third tier). He got the assist in a 1-0 home win, having experienced a 2-1 loss on the road. Cup specialistsLeipzig are bidding to become the first team in history to win three successive DFB Cups. Die Roten Bullen haven't lost in the competition since going down 4-1 to Thomas Tuchel's Dortmund in the 2020/21 final. They were also runners-up in 2018/19, losing out to Bayern. More on those teamsGulácsi returns in the Leipzig goal almost a year after suffering an ACL rupture in a Champions League game against Celtic.
