On Wednesday night, RB Leipzig hosts Union Berlin at the Red Bull Arena in the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal. RB Leipzig has been in excellent form of late, as a 1-0 win at top-four rivals Bayer Leverkusen last time out illustrated.

The victory in Leverkusen means that Die Roten Bullen are 14 games unbeaten in all competitions since suffering a narrow 3-2 defeat at reigning champions and league leaders Bayern Munich.

While Leipzig under Domenico Tedesco has become a potent attacking force, their recent defensive record has also been solid, as they have kept clean sheets in their last three matches.

The home team are now in a healthy position to qualify for the Champions League for next season from the Bundesliga.

However, they could also win their first-ever major silverware this season, as they are also in the semi-finals of the Europa League.

RB Leipzig have enjoyed a comfortable ride to the semi-finals of the competition, having eliminated Sandhausen, Babelsberg, Hansa Rostock and Hannover.

Similarly, to RB Leipzig, Union Berlin is having a stellar Bundesliga campaign and is still on the hunt for a Champions League spot for next season.

The boys from Berlin trail fourth-place Bayer Leverkusen by four points, but are still in the last European spot for next season.

Urs Fischer’s team head into this clash on the back of three straight wins in all competitions against Koln, Hertha Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt.

When it comes to the DFB Pokal, Union have beaten Turkgucu Munchen, Waldhof Mannheim, local rivals Hertha and St. Pauli in the last round.

The visitors have been tough to beat of late on their travels in this competition, having lost just once in their last eight away matches in the competition.

Forebet predicts that RB Leipzig will book their place in the DFB Pokal final by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
