Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig Predictions and Betting Tips
Union Berlin and RB Leipzing slug it out in this Friday's action in the Bundesliga at the An der alten Forsterei. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Union Berlin picked up their first-ever top-flight win against the Red Bull club in their most recent meeting. With Leipzig winning the three games before that, they would certainly be up for revenge this Friday.
Both sides keen on getting back to winning ways
Union Berlin head into this game looking to get back to winning ways following last weekend's loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. An Evan N'Dicka strike five minutes into stoppage time broke the capital sides' hearts as they were condemned to only their third loss of the season- only Bayern Munich have lost fewer. Union Berlin is currently in sixth place and as such, they would be eyeing European competition just like they did last season to secure a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
RB Leipzig, on the flip side, would've been disappointed at their recent performance as we've seen them lose their last two league matches. Although there's a 5-0 UCL Group stage victory against Club Brugge in between those losses, we've witnessed a slight dip in their domestic form which is why the Red Bull club are currently four places and four points off the top four. Would they put those losses to Hoffenheim and Frankfurt behind them and get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga ?

Matches in which the visitor's features are usually played at a frantic pace which allows for loads of goals at both ends. We expect to see a similar pattern here with both sides making the oppositions' net bulge. However, the quality the visitors possess at the top end of the pitch should pull them through this Friday.
