RB Leipzig will be expecting to return to winning ways when they host Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, have collected just one point from six matches on their travels since gaining promotion.
Die Roten Bullen lost away to Wolfsburg for the second time within a month last time out in the Bundesliga, with Jonas Wind and Rogerio scoring either side of half time for the Wolves. Yussuf Poulsen - who was sent off during his side's defeat to Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal in October - had pulled one back seven minutes after the break.
Leipzig looked like pulling off a major upset away to the Champions League holders Manchester City when Lois Openda scored twice before half time at the Etihad Stadium, but the Citizens pulled off a stunning second-half comeback to seal top spot in Group G. Leipzig had already secured their progression to the knockout stages.
Their attentions must now return to picking up their league form, which has become patchier of late. Rose's side have won just three of their last seven matches to slide to fifth in the table, so the former Borussia Dortmund manager will firmly expect his side to secure a win against their newly-promoted opponents on Saturday.
