RB Leipzig takes 2nd place in the standings (65 points scored in 33 matches). The Bulls have chalked up 19 wins, eight draws, and six defeats. Leipzig, which became the vice-champion of Germany for the first time in four years, is spending a controversial ending to the season. A few rounds before the finish, the Bulls missed the chance to compete for the champion’s title with Bayern Munich and lost to Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup final (1-4). The winless streak of Nagelsmann’s team has already lasted three matches in all tournaments. Last Sunday, Leipzig tied against Wolfsburg (2-2). In that match, the Bulls had to win back after the double of Maximilian Philip. The Saxons were saved from defeat by goals from Justin Kluivert and Marcel Sabitzer, who converted the penalty.
Union Berlin is motivated by the struggle for the European competition and looks formidable at home. In 16 home matches, the Berliners suffered only one defeat from Augsburg in the starting round (1-3). The Iron Ones played well against the leaders of the Bundesliga — they defeated Borussia Dortmund (2-1) and Bayer (1-0) and shared points with Eintracht (3-3), Bayern Munich (1-1), and Wolfsburg (1-1). Leipzig is in the top three of the Bundesliga in terms of away games (eight wins and four draws in 16 matches), but the last two visits ended in defeats to FC Koln (2-1) and Borussia Dortmund (3-2). The Bulls are motivated by the fact that the match in Berlin will be the last for Nagelsmann who is moving to Bayern, but the intransigence of Union Berlin will prevent Leipzig from gaining three points. But both teams are likely to score in the upcoming match. The Iron Ones regularly demonstrate productive football on their field, and both sides scored in six of the last seven matches. The same outcome was recorded in five out of six previous games with the participation of Leipzig.
Prediction for the match: Union Berlin to win with +0.5 handicap and Both teams to score — yes
