Union Berlin take on the visitors RB Leipzig in the round 14 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, December 12th at Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Berlin).
Union Berlin still remember their recent rise, which culminated in a fourth-place finish in the Bundesliga and a debut in the Champions League. But immediately after that, in 2024, they had to take part in the relegation play-out — fortunately, they managed to win the decisive fixtures there. Now the team have shown progress and at least began to win and lose in roughly equal proportions, settling in the middle of the table. However, in their most recent league outings, they were defeated by modest opponents, Heidenheim and Wolfsburg. In the cup they fought hard against Bayern, scoring twice but still losing 2-3 to the country’s dominant force. In addition, their home form has been somewhat inconsistent, which keeps them from climbing higher in the standings. At the same time, their defensive stability still fluctuates, making their results noticeably dependent on match momentum.

RB Leipzig want to reclaim their lost positions. The Bulls had been consistently successful, even while willingly selling high-profile players whenever attractive offers arrived. This model faltered last season when they failed to reach the Champions League knockout stages and then finished only seventh in the Bundesliga, a position that, due to Stuttgart’s cup triumph, did not allow them to qualify even for the Conference League. To break the slump, they lured Ole Werner from Werder, and the new head coach has performed impressively, ensuring clear progress for his new side. As a result, Leipzig are now seriously targeting a runners-up finish. However, they did lose to Hoffenheim, and away in Mönchengladbach they were held to a goalless draw. In the last round, Eintracht Frankfurt were demolished 6-0, and before that Leipzig conceded in the cup against Magdeburg but still confidently advanced with a 3-1 win. Their attacking efficiency has noticeably increased in recent weeks, allowing them to dominate even against resilient opponents. Moreover, their overall match control has improved, making them one of the more stable sides in the league at the moment.
The Bulls are unbeaten in four straight matches. After a pair of wins two seasons ago, both fixtures of the 2024/2025 campaign ended in goalless draws. The visitors are clearly stronger and should confirm that on the pitch — the bet is on RB Leipzig to win even away from home.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win.
