Union Berlin hosts RB Leipzig in round 14 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, December 3rd at Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Berlin)
Urs Fischer's team is in 6th place in the standings with 20 points after 13 matches. Union Berlin gained five victories and five draws and suffered three losses. The Iron Ones are having a good season in the Bundesliga and are seriously claiming a place in the European competitions at the end of the championship. They can even improve last season's achievement when they finished in 7th place. Beyond that, the Berliners retain their chances of reaching the playoffs of the Conference League. In the event of a victory over Slavia Prague at home, Union Berlin will lock up a spot in the 1/16 finals. On November 28, Fischer's footballers failed to cope with Eintracht Frankfurt away (2-1). The outcome of the game in Frankfurt was decided by the effective attack of the Eagles in the 95th minute. Due to that defeat, Union Berlin interrupted an unbeaten run of two matches.

Jesse Marsch's team is ranked 8th in the Bundesliga standings with 18 points. RB Leipzig chalked up five victories, three draws, and five defeats in 13 rounds. The Red Bulls changed their head coach in the summer, and this season is not going to be easy for them. In the Champions League, the Bulls scored four points thanks to an away victory over Club Brugge KV (0-5) and advanced to 3rd place in Group A. Not to lose this place, RB Leipzig should earn points in the last match against Manchester City. As for the Bundesliga, the position of the Bulls is also questionable. They are outside the European competition zone because of two consecutive defeats. The Saxons lost to Hoffenheim (2-0) and suffered a home defeat from Bayer Leverkusen (1-3).
In the previous German championship, Union Berlin and RB Leipzig exchanged home victories. On January 20, the Bulls defeated the Iron Ones in front of their native stands with a minimum score (1-0), and on May 22, Union Berlin beat the visitors from Leipzig in Berlin (2-1). The Berliners are tough contenders for most Bundesliga teams in the current season. The Iron Ones are especially good at home, where they scored 14 points in seven rounds and lost only to Bayern Munich (2-5). RB Leipzig is in a difficult situation due to the coronavirus epidemic in the team. This is superimposed on the game problems of the Bulls, who have not yet won a single away game in the current Bundesliga. Six away matches of the Saxons ended in three draws and three losses. This unsuccessful streak will probably continue on Friday.
Prediction for the match: Union Berlin to win with +0.5 handicap
