Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig Predictions

• Union Berlin are currently enjoying a club record nine-game unbeaten run of Bundesliga games.
• Union can match a club record winning run against a specific opponent with one more here.
• Leipzig are yet to win a competitive game this season.

The Iron Ones can outplay their odds

Since making their Bundesliga debut a couple of years ago, Union Berlin have consistently surprised everyone with their consistently improving form. They’ve featured in two European campaigns and often frustrate the big boys, just as they have Leipzig by winning the last three consecutive H2Hs!

New Union Berlin striker Jordan Siebatcheu has been brought in to fill the Taiwo Awoniyi shaped hole in the strike force and has done so with aplomb so far, netting first for the Iron Ones in both of his first two starts for the club.

The Red Bulls may falter

While RB Leipzig recorded a historic season last year with their first major silverware, they have looked less than convincing across the opening three competitive games of 2022/23 (D2, L1).

The visitors enter this game as favourites, yet they won just four of the last 15 Bundesliga away games as such (D6, L4). Another failure to win here will signify the first time in club history that Leipzig begin a campaign with three straight winless league games!

We predict that will be the exact outcome, with a double chance win/draw selection going the way of Union Berlin. However, the Red Bulls may be plucky and hold on for a 1-1 draw.
