Sorja Luhansk:
FK Sorja Luhansk has not won a title in the Ukrainian premier league since it was founded in 1992. After a descent in the 1995/96 season, which led the club even in the 3rd league, succeeded in the 2006/07 season return to league one. Since then, the club from Eastern Ukraine plays first-class. Because of the war in eastern Ukraine, Sorja carries out his home games in Zaporozhye since the 2014/15 season. In the season 2014/15 Sorja made it for the first time in the Europa League. But this year and the following season, Luhansk still failed in the playoffs. In the season 2016/17 Sorja first time reached the group stage, but retired there behind Fenerbahçe Istanbul, Manchester United and Feyenoord Rotterdam last.
Also in the last season it managed the FK in the group stage. But after a third place behind Athletic Bilbao and Östersunds FK missed the second round again. In the last season Luhansk was able to leave behind Hertha BSC Berlin. At home, the Ukrainians beat Berlin 2-1. With the Hertha there was a 0-2 bust. At Athletic Bilbao you could win 1-0. In the 2017/18 season of the Ukrainian Premier League Sorja made it to fourth place. However, the gap to champions Shakhtar Donetsk was 18 points. At home you could only win four out of eleven games. In the summer, important players such as Lunin, Iury or Opanasenko were sold.
The squad was reinforced with Luiz Felipe, Rafael Ratao, Zauri Makharadze and Bogdan Lednev. In the current season in Ukraine also five games have been completed. Sorja is currently in 5th place in the league with two wins, two draws and one defeat. The goal difference is 4: 3. At home Sorja is still unbeaten this season, but could win only one of three games. With a 1-1 at home and a 2-2 at Sporting Braga, the Ukrainians moved into the Europa League playoffs. Luhansk have been waiting for victory for five Europa League matches. In the last seven competitive matches, there have been two wins, four draws and one defeat. Coach Yuri Vernydub will be without goalkeeper Luiz Felipe and left winger Artem Gromov against Leipzig.
RB Leipzig:
First, RB prevailed in the Europa League qualification against Sweden BK Häcken (4: 0, 1: 1) and then against the Romanians of CS Universitatea Craiova (3: 1, 1: 1). In the first round of the cup Leipzig did with a 3-1 at regional league Viktoria Cologne quite a bit difficult. The Cologne were even in the 39th minute went into the lead. With a double strike in the 61st and 69th minute RB then turned the game. But the decision was only made by the 3-1 in 93rd minute. Since this season Ralf Rangnick is once again working in a double role as coach and sports director. After the departure of coach Hasenhüttl Rangnick also takes over the coaching office, until then Julian Nagelsmann comes to Leipzig with the beginning of the season 2019/20. The coach wants to play a successful season with Leipzig. Before the season you had to cope with the departures of Keita and Bernardo. New commitments were made by Nordi Mukiele, Matheus Cunha and Marcelo Saracchi. In addition, you want to defend better again and concede fewer goals. The anticipated double burden of the Europa League wants to catch Rangnick by two roughly equal squad.
In the last season, the bulls rotated very little and had to pay tribute to the many matches again and again. Now, in away games in the Europa League, some players will stay in Leipzig and prepare with the assistant coach for the league games. But still one or two players should come to Leipzig. The club is still fighting for Ademola Lookman, who was loaned by Everton last season. In addition, one has great interest in Sebastian Rudy from Bayern. Ralf Rangnick has to make do without Marcel Halstenberg in the first leg. The use of Timo Werner, who did not drive to Craiova because of muscular problems and missed the game at Viktoria Köln because of gastrointestinal problems, is still uncertain against Luhansk. Sorja Luhanst is against RB Leipzig the odds after unsurprising in the outsider role. Who wants to dare a tip on the home win, can use odds of 6.50 for corresponding bets.
