Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig are looking to maintain their recent good form when they travel to Union Berlin in a Friday night German Bundesliga fixture.

The hosts have been out of sorts lately and have also found things difficult on home soil. They could be in for a tough outing against the visitors, who have shown some quality on their recent travels.

Union Berlin News

Union Berlin are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Wolfsburg in their previous Bundesliga fixture. They fell three goals down before Stanley Nsoki struck a consolation midway through the second half.

That result is part of a poor run for Union Berlin, who have now lost their last three matches across all competitions. Steffen Baumgart’s team are also winless in their last four home matches, losing 2-1 to Heidenheim in their previous Bundesliga fixture in front of their fans.

One of the issues for Union Berlin is a defensive vulnerability that has seen them fail to keep a clean sheet in their last three matches. However, they have scored in all three fixtures, which have also produced over 2.5 goals.

RB Leipzig News

RB Leipzig were rampant last time out in the Bundesliga, easing to a 6-0 home victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. With Yan Diomande scoring a hat-trick. Ole Werner's team remain second in the table, six points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

That result is part of a solid run for RB Leipzig, who are unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions, winning at least one half in seven of those fixtures. They are also unbeaten in six of their last seven away matches.

As evidenced by the win over Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig often impress in attack, and eight of their last 10 matches have produced over 2.5 goals. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in two of their last three away matches.

Head to Head

RB Leipzig have eight wins while Union Berlin have picked up six victories in their, with three draws in the last 17 matches. Both teams battled to 0-0 scorelines in their two meetings last season.

Verdict

Union Berlin v RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig are unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches and will be full of confidence against a Union Berlin side that has been below their best lately. Having won at least one half in seven of those fixtures, the visitors could be set for a similar pattern here.

Both teams have shown some defensive frailties and could be backed to score. With Union Berlin’s last three matches producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome is expected here.
