RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin
German Bundesliga
Date: 11 February 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
RB Leipzig host Union Berlin in a big six-pointer in the battle for the top-four finish in the elite class of German football on Saturday afternoon at Red Bull Arena.
Leipzig dropped the ball seven days ago at FC Koln, failing to break the deadlock in a tight goalless draw at RheinEnergieStadion.
Die Roten dropped to fourth place in the league ladder as a consequence and are now three points behind Union Berlin in second place and four points shy of leaders Bayern Munich.
Nevertheless, the bookmakers still see the hosts as pretty big favorites here. Looking at the teams’ squads, as well as RB Leipzig’s impressive record at Red Bull Arena, it is easy to understand why.
Marco Rose’s men won seven and drew two of nine Bundesliga outings on the home patch this term, with a 22-7 goal difference en route.
They have also won three and drawn one of the last four matches in all competitions going into this affair.
Union Berlin, on the other side, head into this with five wins on the bounce across competitions. They found a way to dispatch Mainz seven days ago thanks to a late goal from Jordan Siebatcheu.
