Peter Gulacsi - Back starting Gulacsi recorded two saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Union Berlin.

Impact Gulacsi got back in the starting XI and got back with his first Bundesliga clean sheet of the season. Gulacsi may finally have his place in the starting XI back after a knee injury let Janis Blaswich take over the top job. Still Blaswich showed to be a competent replacement, so Gulacsi will need to stay at his best to stay in the starting XI.

Dani Olmo - Quiet despite win Olmo recorded two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Union Berlin.

Impact Olmo was pedestrian during Sunday's win, sending in just a single cross and failing to create like he normally does. The attacking midfielder has struggled with injuries and doesn't seem to be back to his pre-injury best. Still Olmo is an elite attacking option who should play his way back into form if he can stay fit.

David Raum - Assists in win Raum assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), 11 crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Union Berlin.

Impact Raum got back on the scoresheet from left-back, making the most of his chance and setting up a goal during the one-sided win. Raum hasn't been perfect during his first season in Leipzig, but he has done enough to take over a major role on the left flank, providing width to the narrow formation. Raum will have some big targets to aim for up top, especially if Benjamin Sesko can keep a spot in the starting XI.

Lois Openda - Scores Sunday Openda scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Openda got back in the goals alongside his new strike partner, Benjamin Sesko. The two are seen as the long-term options in Leipzig and will hope to find some chemistry in the back half of the season. Openda has scored in four of his last five matches and has continued as one of the most consistent scoring options in the Bundesliga.

Benjamin Sesko - Nets in win Sesko scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Union Berlin.

Impact Sesko got the start and got on the scoresheet during the comfortable win. The striker has taken longer than expected to get into the starting XI, but he seems to finally be finding form alongside Lois Openda. It's likely too late for the title, but this Leipzig side could put together some big showings in the back half of the Bundesliga.

Mohamed Simakan - Picks up fifth yellow card Simakan will not be an option for Sunday's match against Union Berlin, having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Stuttgart on Saturday.

Impact Simakan is heading to the sidelines for the first time this season, having been suspended due to yellow card accumulation. This will be a tough blow for Leipzig, as the defender has appeared in every match this season, only missing out on one start. His most likely replacement will be Benjamin Henrichs, who will fill his role until he is available once again on Feb. 10 against Augsburg.

Nicolas Seiwald - Bags first assist of season Seiwald assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 5-2 defeat against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Siewald finally registered his first assist in the Bundesliga since joining Leipzig this summer, finding Lois Openda in the 55th minute for the team's second and final goal of the loss. Siewald has started to find more time on the pitch recently after a slightly underwhelming start to the campaign, having featured in three of their last four matches, with his two most recent appearances both being starts. He will hope to keep getting more time moving forward, as he has only notched four chances created, eight interceptions and 22 tackles in 12 appearances this season.

David Raum - Finds assist against Stuttgart Raum assisted once to go with six crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 5-2 loss versus VfB Stuttgart. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 79th minute.

Impact Raum delivered his first assist in some time Saturday, finding Benjamin Sesko in the 32nd minute for his first assist since Dec. 2. He now has six goal contributions on the season, with four of those being assists. His contribution also didn't go unnoticed in the defense, posting three tackles won, three interceptions and five clearances.

Lois Openda - Scores in consecutive matches Openda scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 5-2 defeat against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Openda continued his hot streak Saturday, scoring his second goal in as many games after finding the net in the 55th minute off of a Nicolas Seiwald assist. Openda now has four goal contributions in his past five matches, giving him 17 in Bundesliga play this campaign. He will look to keep this rolling into the team's next contest as he continues to be their most crucial player in the final third, having eight more goals than any other player on Leipzig.

Benjamin Sesko - Finds back of the net Sesko scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 5-2 loss to VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Sesko registered his second goal of the season Saturday, finding the net in the 32nd minute off of a David Raum assist for the club's first goal. Outside of that, the forward was kept pretty quiet in his 90 minutes of work, only notching three clearances. He has now started in the club's past three matches and will hope to keep that role moving forward after the goal.

JANUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Janis Blaswich - Tough day in net Blaswich had four saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-2 loss versus VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Blaswich was far from his best Saturday, allowing a stunning five goals on only four saves in the loss. This is his second poor performance in a row, now having allowed eight goals on six saves during that span following a 2-3 loss to Leverkusen on Jan. 20. He has also now gone 12 appearances since his last clean sheet, only having five on the year. He will hope to turn things around when he faces Union Berlin on Sunday.

Impact Orban returns from a knee injury which has kept him out of action since early September. The defender started all three league matches prior to the injury, but will need to overtake one of Lukas Klostermann or Castello Lukeba moving forward in the starting XI.

Willi Orban - Trains fully Orban (knee) has been able to train fully with the team and is expected to be an option for Saturday's trip tp Stuttgart.

Impact Orban could see a return to the pitch after sitting out since Sep 3 with a knee injury. He will look to be an option to start again once he is back to full match form, with Mohamed Simakan and Lukas Klostermann the set starters at center back.

Willi Orban - Begins limited training Orban (knee) completed portions of training Tuesday in the hopes of returning against Stuttgart on Saturday.

Impact The fact that Orban was not a full participant keeps him a doubt ahead of Saturday's contest, though it is certainly a step in the right direction. Considering the defender has been out of action since Sept 3 against Union Berlin, a stretch of 21 matches, he will likely need to make an appearance or two off the bench before being in the mix for a spot in the starting XI.

He figures to remain a youth option this season but could be called upon to make a first-team appearance if needed.
