RB Leipzig
After missing out on European football last season, RB Leipzig have surpassed their record and will certainly play in Europe next season.
Their 1-3 away win against Eintracht Frankfurt last week guarantees they cannot finish lower than sixth in the Bundesliga, but, of course, they want to play in the Champions League.
RB Leipzig is third, five points above fifth-place TSG Hoffenheim with four games left. Winning this game is a must before the big direct duel against Bayer Leverkusen next week.
And RB Leipzig are in great form currently – winners of four straight Bundesliga matches.
They also scored 2+ in 8 of their last 10 games, meaning they are in excellent shape heading into the final stretch.
Union Berlin
Union Berlin did not disappoint in their first game under the first female coach, Marie-Louise Eta. They lost 1-2 to Wolfsburg at home, but the result is a bit misleading. They were the better side in that game, having an incredible 27 shots on goal, but it just wasn’t their day.
It was Union Berlin’s fourth straight winless match (third defeat in that span), which makes them nervously looking over their shoulders.
The Berliners are not going to drop out directly, but they have only a 6-point advantage over the relegation playoff spot with 4 games left. One win is needed for securing their status, which I think they have a better chance of achieving next week against the lowly Koln side.
The Betting Verdict
RB Leipzig lost the first duel against Union Berlin 3-1, so they’ll be eager for payback now. At home, they are unbeaten in five, winning all of their last three, which makes RB Leipzig big favourites here.
Considering that almost all their games this season have featured a lot of goals, I would go with a combo bet on RB Leipzig to win and over 2.5 goals.
The Pick :
RB Leipzig 3-1 Union Berlin
