- 0' Welcome to Red Bull Arena Leipzig that hosts another battle between RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfB Stuttgart that had 453 games and scored 468 goals.

- 87' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
