The hosts are throwing everything forward, but we are in the third of five minutes of stoppage time - so the clock is well and truly ticking.

The hosts have peppered the Bochum goal throughout and had two penalties saved. The intensity of their attacking is increasing - can they finally make the breakthrough in the remaining 15 minutes or so?

Remarkable stuff from the Bochum goalkeeper. He pulls off a super save to deny Forsberg from the spot for his second spot-kick save of the afternoon.

Poulsen is brought down by Ordets minutes after coming on.

Marco Rose places his faith in the experienced pair of Poulsen and Forsberg to inspire Leipzig to a breakthrough.

Stöger steps up to curl a free-kick a good 20 metres out - and sends it just the wrong side of the post!

The second halves are getting started in the four afternoon kick-offs. Bayer Leverkusen will stay top of the table, as things currently stand.

Leipzig had a big chance to end the first period in front with Xavi missing a penalty. The hosts have dominated, but Bochum have defended bravely.

The Dutchman is unable to give his side the lead from the spot. Riemann dived to his left to save the effort after Xavi had been fouled by Schlotterbeck.

The Leipzig team have youth on their side today - with an average age of 25.2 compared to Bochum's 30.6. They have got the ball forward frequently in the opening stages but may have to be patient against the deep-defending visitors.

Leipzig's sharing of the points last time out was an anomaly - that was the first they have been held since February, when they drew 0-0 with Cologne.

This fixture has, for the most part , been one-way traffic. The two have met nine times, and Leipzig have prevailed on each occasions, in the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 or DFB Cup. However, last time out in March, Bochum had the upper hand, clinching a 1-0 victory, and they will be eager to repeat the trick here.

Bochum's recent form has been in stark contrast to that of their latest opponents. They remain without a win so far this term, although they have at least picked up three points thanks to draws with Frankfurt, Augsburg and Dortmund. Thomas Letsch will hope his side do not have to wait as long as last season before their maiden victory - that came in Matchday 9.

RB have started the season in brilliant form. They were narrowly beaten by Leverkusen 3-2 on the opening day of the season, but are unbeaten in all competitions since then, including four wins and one draw in the league. After six matches, they have amassed 13 points and a goal difference of +10 - that constitutes their best-ever beginning to a Bundesliga campaign.
