Leipzig (AP) - RB Leipzig is in the Bundesliga before an important game to qualify for the Champions League.

The second-placed team of coach Julian Nagelsmann welcomes rival Bayer Leverkusen to the top game today (6.30 p.m. / Sky).

Leipzig are three points ahead of Bayer and could double their lead with a win.

"It is important that we bring this lightness back to the field," said Nagelsmann.

Leipzig has only won one of the last four games.

Playmaker Emil Forsberg will be out against Leverkusen due to a knee injury.
