Last season was a solid one for RB Leipzig - they finished in the top three in the Bundesliga and reached the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals, where they lost to Bayern, who went on to lift the trophy. For most of that campaign they were up against sides of similar quality or slightly below, and in pre-season friendlies they've been testing themselves against clearly weaker opposition. Historically, that kind of match rarely causes them problems: last season in the DFB-Pokal they beat Magdeburg (3-1), Cottbus (4-1) and Sandhausen (4-2).

Ingolstadt played their last friendly against Palermo, beating the Italian side 1-0. Here's how the match broke down (Ingolstadt vs Palermo):

• possession: 51% vs 49%;
• corners: 2 vs 7;
• yellow cards: 0 vs 2;
• shots on target: 2 vs 0.

Ingolstadt play in the German third tier, but they play it with some flair - 6 of their last 7 matches at that level have produced at least three goals. The summer has gone well: three friendlies, three wins, no goals conceded. But this is a different kind of test, and one they may not pass. Against stronger opposition, Ingolstadt tend to sit back - which makes sense. The problem is it hasn't worked. Over the last two years: a 0-7 loss to Augsburg, two defeats to Nürnberg (1-2 and 0-3), and a 2-4 against Greuther Fürth.
