THE LOWDOWN
RB LEIPZIG
If you had told someone back in the New Year that RB Leipzig would fail to gain a single Bundesliga point across the month of January, eyebrows would have narrowed in your direction. However, that’s exactly what has transpired as Marco Rose’s side simply cannot keep the opposition out at present. Home defeats against Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen respectively was following up by a 5-2 thrashing away at Stuttgart.
UNION BERLIN
A nervous, but crucial 1-0 triumph for Union Berlin vs bottom-placed Darmstadt earned them a precious three points which saw them extend the gap between them and the bottom three to five points, giving them some sort of breathing room ahead of this latest round of games. Benedict Hollerbach was the hero for Union, scoring the winning goal over Darmstadt just past the hour mark.

THE PREDICTION
Marco Rose simply cannot afford his RB Leipzig team to slip up again here. Having already been knocked out of the top four following their run of losses post-winter break, the pressure is mounting on him to turn things around. Union Berlin though, are not the pushovers they once were, which is reflected in their recent results. Conceding just once since Christmas, away to Bayern Munich is testament to their efforts and this may wind up being a frustrating afternoon for the hosts, who must remain calm throughout. Consider backing under 3.5 goals scored in this one.
BETTING TIP: UNDER 3.5 GOALS
