RB Leipzig vs. VfL Bochum - News - October 07, 2023 | FOX Sports

Xavi Simons - Attempts five shots Simons recorded five shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Bochum. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 69th min...

Impact Simons had the shot quantity nailed, but his quality left a lot to be desired. He has not logged a goal across any of his last three Bundesliga appearances. This is unfortunately from his first four games of the 2023-24 Bundesliga, when he logged that many goals.

David Raum - Attempts 18 crosses Raum registered one shot (zero on goal), 18 crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Bochum.

Impact Raum attempted more than half of RB Leipzig's crosses, which shows just how dangerous yet ineffective the team was Saturday. The left-back has attempted more than 10 crosses during three of his seven Bundesliga appearances since August. Currently, Raum has 61 crosses (13 accurate) across the 2023-24 Bundesliga, of which he is poised to showcase himself as an elite crosser yet again.

Lukas Klostermann - Clean sheet during start Klostermann generated one shot (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Bochum.

Impact Klostermann helped the Leipzig team log its fourth clean sheet since September. The center-beck also redeemed himself from his previous appearance, a loss against Manchester City. However, the question now is if Klostermann can maintain some form of regularity in Leipzig's starting XI, which only seems possible if both Willi Orban (knee) and Benjamin Henrichs (strain) remain out.

Janis Blaswich - Logs two-save clean sheet Blaswich had two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Bochum.

Impact Blaswich saved shots from Ivan Ordets and Takuma Asano. Though the goalkeeper's last appearance of September snapped a streak of consecutive clean sheets he logged that month, Blaswich's form remains excellent. Blaswich has 12 saves and four clean sheets across his five appearances post-August, a positive trend of form he will look to continue at SV Darmstadt 98 on Oct. 21.

Moritz-Broni Kwarteng - Plays 17 minutes Kwarteng registered one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig.

Impact Kwarteng logged his first appearance of the 2023-24 Bundesliga. After signing a four-year contract with VfL Bochum in June and sitting out multiple months, he will look to make a significant impact at the Bundesliga's top flight. Kwarteng logged 10 goals and three assists during the 2022-23 2. Bundesliga season.

Bernardo - Excellent defensively Bernardo recorded five tackles (three won), four clearances and four interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig.

Impact It took a while, but Bernardo's defensive efforts helped the 2023-24 Bochum team log its first clean sheet. He has 27 tackles (16 won), 25 clearances, 14 interceptions and six blocks across his seven appearances of the ongoing Bundesliga season so far.

Keven Schlotterbeck - Crucial to clean sheet Schlotterbeck registered four blocks, three clearances and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 87th minute.

Impact Schlotterbeck helped VfL Bochum's team log its first clean sheet of the 2023-24 Bundesliga. Ideally for the center-back, he can continue to serve well defensively and earn a better role in that regard. Schlotterbeck has not logged a double-digit tally of starts across any season despite having a Bundesliga career spanning more than five years.
