Women Aim to Break Losing Streak Against Frankfurt
RB Leipzig Women are set to confront Eintracht Frankfurt in a crucial match this Sunday at 18:30 at Cottaweg. After a challenging stretch, the team aims to break its losing streak.
Current Challenges for RB Leipzig Women
As of early November, Leipzig’s last victory came against Carl Zeiss Jena. Since then, they have endured five consecutive losses. The first encounter with Eintracht ended in a disappointing 3-4 defeat.
Implications of a Loss
If Leipzig falls to Eintracht again, it risks slipping closer to the relegation zone, particularly if competitors perform well this weekend.
Context of the Season
- Leipzig currently ranks seventh in the league.
- In the last match, they faced the league leaders, Bayern Munich, suffering a 0-3 defeat.
The season has been plagued by significant injuries among key players. This situation has added pressure on the team and coaching staff.
Injuries and Return of Key Players
Co-captain Sandra Starke has recently made her return, providing a much-needed boost to the squad. Unfortunately, national player Giovanna Hoffmann, who is leaving RB this summer, remains sidelined with a serious knee injury that will keep her out for the remainder of the season.
As the team prepares for this critical matchup against Eintracht Frankfurt, the focus will be on recovery and strategy, with hopes to reverse their fortunes on the field.
