RB Leipzig host PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday (2100 CEST) in the second round of the Champions League league phase, with both sides still chasing a first win in the competition. Leipzig lost 4-1 at Italian club Como on matchday one, while PSV drew 1-1 with Shakhtar Donetsk.
Leipzig head into the game on the back of a 6-0 Bundesliga win over Eintracht Frankfurt. After the Como defeat, coach Martin Demichelis said he had not seen the team's identity. At Monday's news conference he said: "We've taken a step forward, but we can't get carried away. We have to build on that performance."
Demichelis singled out winger Antonio Nusa, who has five goals and three assists in five Bundesliga games, calling him "one of the best wingers in Europe right now." He described Peter Bosz's PSV as a possession-based side whose style is similar to Leipzig's.
