AP Sports Preview: RB Leipzig II at Hohen Neuendorf

HOHEN NEUENDORF, Germany (Interstat) — RB Leipzig II, riding a wave of offensive firepower, visits Hohen Neuendorf on Sunday in a Regionalliga matchup that pits the league’s most prolific attack against a home side desperate to halt a three-match losing streak.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at the Sportplatz Hohen Neuendorf.

RB Leipzig II enters the contest on the heels of an emphatic 8-0 victory over Hansa Rostock on April 19. That result extended a remarkable run of form for the visitors, who have scored at least four goals in four of their last five matches. Over that stretch, Leipzig II has outscored opponents 25-7, including an 8-3 win over 1. FC Union Berlin II and a 6-0 shutout of Turkiyemspor R-B. The lone hiccup came in a 2-1 loss to Hertha Berlin on March 8.

Hohen Neuendorf, by contrast, is searching for answers. The home side was blanked 5-0 by Magdeburg on April 18, its third consecutive defeat. Since a 3-1 win over Hansa Rostock on March 8, Hohen Neuendorf has been outscored 9-1. The team’s only victory in its last six matches was a 2-1 decision against 1. FFV Erfurt on April 12.

The series history offers little comfort for the hosts. RB Leipzig II defeated Hohen Neuendorf 4-0 on Oct. 26, 2025 (Interstat) — the most recent meeting (Interstat) — and has won all three all-time encounters by a combined 14-0 margin.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 4-1 victory for RB Leipzig II.

Leipzig II currently sits atop the Regionalliga standings, powered by a deep attack that has scored six or more goals in six matches this season. Hohen Neuendorf, meanwhile, has struggled to generate consistent offense, managing just three goals in its last five outings.

Following Sunday’s match, RB Leipzig II returns home to host 1. FFC Fortuna Dresden on May 10. Hohen Neuendorf will face SV Eintracht Leipzig-Sud at home on the same date.
