Leipzig's sharing of the points last time out was an anomaly - that was the first they have been held since February, when they drew 0-0 with Cologne.

This fixture has, for the most part , been one-way traffic. The two have met nine times, and Leipzig have prevailed on each occasions, in the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 or DFB Cup. However, last time out in March, Bochum had the upper hand, clinching a 1-0 victory, and they will be eager to repeat the trick here.

Bochum's recent form has been in stark contrast to that of their latest opponents. They remain without a win so far this term, although they have at least picked up three points thanks to draws with Frankfurt, Augsburg and Dortmund. Thomas Letsch will hope his side do not have to wait as long as last season before their maiden victory - that came in Matchday 9.

RB have started the season in brilliant form. They were narrowly beaten by Leverkusen 3-2 on the opening day of the season, but are unbeaten in all competitions since then, including four wins and one draw in the league. After six matches, they have amassed 13 points and a goal difference of +10 - that constitutes their best-ever beginning to a Bundesliga campaign.

Thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 7 fixture between Leipzig and Bochum.
