RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin prediction
The reorganisation of the Red Bull group has produced another talented and impressive RB Leipzig side. They head into the 31st match day sitting five points tucked inside the top four in the Bundesliga after their winning streak was extended to four matches with an impressive 3-1 defeat of Eintracht Frankfurt away from home last weekend.
Union Berlin became the first team in Europe’s major leagues to appoint a woman as manager with Marie-Louise Eta replacing Steffen Baumgart. Her first game in charge saw the out of form visitors dominate a relegation-battling Wolfsburg side but succumb to a 2-1 defeat to the strugglers in the capital city.
Union’s performance last week would suggest they can bloody the nose of Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena but the hosts remain firm favourites to make it five wins in a row.
