RB Leipzig will invite Atalanta to Red Bull Arena Leipzig in a friendly on Saturday. Leipzig will play one more friendly this month, while La Dea are set to play two more friendlies.
The hosts have enjoyed a 100% record in the preseason thus far, keeping clean sheets in two games. They met Toulouse in their previous friendly and registered a convincing 7-0 win. Lois Openda bagged a brace while Xaver Schlager, Chad Bitshiabu, Johan Bakayoko, Yan Diomande, and David Raum were also on the scoresheet later in that match.
The visitors got their preseason underway against their U23 side last week and registered a 1-0 win. Charles De Ketelaere scored an 86th-minute winner to help Ivan Jurić get his reign as the club manager underway with a win.

Amadou Haidara took part in training earlier this week and is in contention to start. Tidiam Gomis, meanwhile, continues to be affected by a ligament injury.
La Dea will play for just the second time in the preseason and will look to leave a good account of themselves. They registered a narrow win against their U23 side last week, scoring a late goal, and will look to improve upon that goalscoring record here.
Mitchel Bakker suffered a ligament injury in training last week and faces a significant spell on the sidelines. Sead Kolasinac remains a long-term absentee.
