RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin Preview
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig have made a storming start to their Bundesliga season, winning their opening two rounds of fixtures, including an impressive come-from-behind win away to Bayer 04 Leverkusen before the international break.
RB Leipzig ended Xabi Alonso’s Bayer 04 Leverkusen invincible run by coming from two goals down to win 2-3 at the BayArena. This was the first defeat for Leverkusen since May 2023. Lois Openda’s second-half brace was enough to give Leipzig the away win as they continued an impressive start to the season.
The win at BayArena added to their battling opening weekend win at home to VfL Bochum. Antonio Nusa’s 59th-minute goal was sufficient to secure the three points for Leipzig. However, they had a nervy finish to the match after Willi Orban was sent off in the 85th minute.
Our expert soccer predictions show that Leipzig have a good chance of winning at home against Union Berlin on Saturday. They showed good form before the international break, and Marco Rose will hope to keep their momentum going after the break.
Union Berlin
With a draw and a win, Union Berlin will be pleased with their start to the Bundesliga season before the international break.
They opened the season with a tough trip to Mainz on opening weekend. Mainz took the lead in front of the home supporters in the 53rd minute, making it difficult for Union Berlin. However, Bo Svensson’s men battled for the equalizer, which duly arrived in the 74th minute through a Laszlo Benes strike. The honors finished even at 1-1.
In their second match and last one ahead of the international break, Union Berlin prevailed at home to FC St. Pauli, winning 1-0. A Benedict Hollerbach strike in the 34th minute was enough for the three points and Union’s maiden win of the season.
Union Berlin will look to extend their unbeaten run when they travel to RB Leipzig on Saturday. Football predictions analysis on 22Bet show that they have a chance of making the match difficult for the hosts and fighting for a share of the spoils.
