In an exciting Bundesliga fixture, Leipzig looks to extend their winning streak to five games as they face off against Union Berlin. Leipzig, currently third in the league standing, has managed to win four consecutive matches despite allowing several shots on target from their opponents. Meanwhile, Union Berlin, sitting in 11th place, has had a challenging run, leading to the dismissal of their head coach. With Marie-Louise Eta stepping in as interim coach, Union Berlin still struggles, recently losing to Wolfsburg. Expect both teams to score, but Leipzig edges as favorites.

Leipzig’s recent performances were far from impressive but still grinded four important victories. I will back them to extend this run against struggling Union Berlin, but not with a clean sheet. 

Key Stats  


  • Leipzig have won their last 4 matches. 
  • Union Berlin have lost 5 of their last 7 matches. 
  • Union Berlin have seen BTTS in their last 3 matches. 

Bulls Edge H2H 


Lens hold a narrow 8-7 advantage over Union Berlin in terms of victories, with 3 contests ending in draws. 

Leipzig in Good Form but Allow a lot Shots


Leipzig are very close to securing a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League, entering this round as 3rd placed team in Bundesliga with a five-point advantage over 5th Hoffenheim. 

They are also one of the hottest teams in the league with four consecutive victories, starting the month with back to back narrow wins over Werder Bremen 2-1 (had lower xG and 2-5 shots on target) and Monchengladbach 1-0 (opposition had 1.79 xG and 15 shots). 

Last weekend, the Bulls punished Eintracht Frankfurt through counter-attacks to claim a 3-1 road victory. It was an open contest with 35 shots total, 13 of which on target. 

Iron Ones Under New Leadership 


Union Berlin’s results in the last two months have been disastrous, securing just four points from their last seven Bundesliga games and dropped to 11th place, sitting just six points above the playout spot. 

A 3-1 defeat against last-placed Heidenheim in mid-April got head manager Steffen Baumgart sacked, and Marie-Louise Eta will serve as interim coach for rest of the season. She became the first ever female coach to lead a team in top five European leagues. 

Her debut didn’t bring any significant improvements, the Iron Ones losing to Wolfsburg 2-1 at home last weekend, Oliver Burke netting late consolation goal. They had plenty of chances here, firing 25 shots total. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Leipzig (4-3-3) Maarten Vandevoordt; Ridle Baku, Willi Orban, Castello Lukeba, David Raum; Assan Ouedraogo, Nicolas Seiwald, Christoph Baumgartner; Yakuba Diomande, Romulo, Antonio Nusa

Hosts can't count on services of Kosta Nedeljkovic (back injury), Leopold Zingerle (wrist problem), Viggo Gebel (cruciate ligament injury) and Ezechiel Banzuzi (knee injury).

Union Berlin (3-4-1-2) Frederik Ronnow; Danilho Doekhi, Leopold Querfeld, Diogo Leite; Christopher Trimmel, Rani Khedira, Aljoscha Kemlein, Tom Rothe; Ilyas Ansah; Oliver Burke, Andrej Ilic

Woo-Yeong Jeong is serving a one-game suspension, while Robert Skov and David Preu are injured.

Verdict

Union Berlin are consistent recently when it comes to scoring and creating chances, but their form is disastrous. I will back them to find the net on Friday, but only as a consolation.
