Although RB Leipzig lost their last three league games to Union all by a 2-1 scoreline, they are slights favourites to win this matchup.
However, taking into account the current form of both sides, we will back RB Leipzig’s double chance and Total goals over 1.5 outcome.
BTTS happened in the last four games between those teams. We expect to see another encounter with an exchange of goals.
After kicking the new season with a confident win against Hertha Berlin (3:1), Urs Fischer’s men were unable to find a net against Mainz, playing out a goalless draw last week.
However, that doesn’t change the fact that Union have the longest undefeated run in Bundesliga, with seven wins and two draws in their last nine matches.
On the other hand, RB Leipzig travel to Berlin, where they will be hoping to turn things around, having made a disappointing start to the season.
For the first time, RB Leipzig have failed to win their opening three competitive matches. They lost to Bayern in the German Super Cup and have drawn both their games in Bundesliga.
Domenico Tedesco’s side will be looking to grab their first 3 points.
For the hosts, Timo Baumgartl is ruled out for this match
For the visitors, one of the key players Dominik Szoboszlai is suspended, while Lukas Klostermann and Yusuf Poulsen have muscle injuries.
Union Berlin: Ronnow; Jaeckel, Knoche, Leite, Ryerson, Haraguchi, Haberer, Giesselmann, Khedira, Becker, Siebatcheu
RB Leipzig: Gulasci; Simakan, Gvardiol, Orban, Kampl, Laimer, Henrichs, Raum, Werner, Nkunku, Olmo
