The 14th round of German Bundesliga fixtures start on Friday the 3rd of December with a match between Union Berlin and RB Leipzig.

The game will be played at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei and the hosts begin the weekend in 6th place on 20 points while the visitors are in 8th place on 18 points.

Union Berlin come into the match on the back of a 2-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend. The hosts opened the scoring in the 22nd minute but Union Berlin found the equaliser 17 minutes into the second half.

Just as it appeared as though Union Berlin had done enough to claim a draw, Eintracht Frankfurt scored the winning goal at the end of the game.

That was the first defeat in 4 matches in all competitions for Union Berlin having previously defeated Maccabi Haifa 1-0 away in the Europa League and Hertha Berlin 2-0 at home in the Bundesliga, the latter of which was a fantastic result in the derby.

Recent home form has not been particularly good and Union Berlin have won 2 and lost 2 of their last 4 home competitive fixtures in all competitions. However, in the Bundesliga they remain tough to beat and have lost only 1 of their last 13 home league fixtures.

Trends show Union Berlin have scored at least 1 goal in all of their last 15 matches in all competitions. In addition, there have been 3 consecutive home Bundesliga games for Union Berlin in which they managed to score at least 2 goals.

RB Leipzig make the trip to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei having lost 3-1 at home against Bayer Leverkusen on the weekend. RB Leipzig found themselves 2-0 down at the interval and having got a goal back in the 62nd minute promptly conceded a third goal to lose the game.

That was the second successive defeat in the Bundesliga for RB Leipzig but they did record a great 5-0 win at Club Brugge in the Champions League last Wednesday.

RB Leipzig have yet to pick up a victory away from home in the Bundesliga this season but they have remained undefeated in 3 of their last 4 away league games. They have won just 1 of their 10 most recent away Bundesliga fixtures.

Trends show RB Leipzig have conceded 1 or more goals in their last 10 away Bundesliga matches.

Looking ahead to the team news and Union Berlin have just one issue going into the game with Kevin Behrens unavailable due to COVID-19.

BR Leipzig on the other hand have significant problems with Dani Olmo, Yussuf Poulsen, Marcel Halstenberg, and Marcelo Saracchi injured plus Hugo Novoa, Willi Orban, Peter Gulacsi, Mohamed Simakan out with COVID-19.

Union Berlin have been scoring plenty of goals at home in recent matches but RB Leipzig have scored in 3 of their last 4 on the road. Therefore, we expect to see both teams find the back of the net in an entertaining game that could end level.
