PREVIEW-Soccer-Rocky start puts Leipzig under pressure ahead of Union game

Last season's German Cup winners, who have again qualified for the Champions League group stage after a fourth-place finish, had expected a faster start. Instead, they have now drawn their two league games after losing the German Super Cup to Bayern Munich last month.

It had all looked better only a few weeks earlier, when Leipzig's all-time top scorer, Timo Werner, returned to the club after a two-year spell at Chelsea. Werner scored on his comeback last week, as did Nkunku, but their team still had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Cologne. Union have won their last three matches against Leipzig and are on a nine-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga stretching back to last season - a club record.
