RB Leipzig to cruise past Union Berlin
2742

This season has been an excellent debut campaign in the RB Leipzig hot seat for highly-rated uber coach Julian Nagelsmann. The young boss will look for his team to continue their stellar Bundesliga form on Saturday evening, as they host Union Berlin at the Red Bull Arena.

Die Roten Bullen are currently two points clear of second-place Monchengladbach heading into this weekend’s action. Prior to the winter break, Leipzig went on an eight-match unbeaten run in the German top-flight, recording seven wins and one draw.

For RB Leipzig, goals have been the name of the game, as Nagelsmann’s team has now scored at least two goals in their last eight Bundesliga outings. In fact, no team has scored more goals than the team from Leipzig.

A big component of Leipzig’s lethal attack is Germany striker Timo Werner, who has scored 18 times in 17 outings in the Bundesliga this season.

The home side’s recent form at the Red Bull Arena in the Bundesliga has been strong, as they have won their last four league outings while scoring at least three goals in each victory.

Union Berlin have experienced a mixed campaign in the Bundesliga. However, the team from the German capital are currently 11th place in the table, five points clear of the relegation play-off spot.

The Bundesliga debutants will have been glad of the winter break, as they suffered three defeats in their last five league games of 2019. They also conceded at least two goals in all three losses, which does not bode well when facing such a highly talented attacking team in Leipzig.

Union have only won one of their eight away games in the German top-flight this season, suffering five defeats in their last seven Bundesliga games on their travels.

Forebet predicts that RB Leipzig will record another victory in a high-scoring encounter to continue their impressive run in the Bundesliga.
