Nagelsmann, who joined RB Leipzig from Hoffenheim ahead of this season, told reporters at the pre-match press conference:
"I know the strengths and weaknesses of a lot of Hoffenheim players, which is obviously an advantage. But they also know my style and how I like my teams to play, so it evens out.
"Of course, it's a special game but we always knew that. Our preparation is the same as it is for any other match. I'm looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces from Hoffenheim again," the RB Leipzig coach said, as quoted by the club.
Nagelsmann was the coach of Hoffenheim from February 2016 until the summer of 2019.
