Leipzig is surely a team that plays well at home. The sixth round of the Champions League saw the Bulls beat Manchester City, and four days later they defeated Gladbach 4-1, both at home. In the last round, however, RB failed to beat modest Augsburg away, the Bavarian encounter ended in a 1-1 draw, despite the Bulls being in the lead for almost the entire match. Leipzig approaches the match against Arminia sitting 9th in the standings, two points behind Mainz in the European Cup zone. The Bulls' home statistics are third in the division after Dortmund and Bayern.
