RB Leipzig - Union Berlin Prediction, Picks and Tips

The Red Bull Arena is the setting for the match between home team RB Leipzig and FC Union Berlin on Wednesday evening. The Berliners already managed to surprise the necessary teams this season. Will Leipzig be the next victim of Union?

After sixteen rounds, RB Leipzig is number two in the Bundesliga. National champion Bayern Munich is by no means clear this season, but Die Roten Bullen, like the other title contenders, is not really able to take full advantage of this. The Saxons themselves also spill a relatively large number of points. Last weekend, Leipzig came to visit VfL Wolfsburg no further than a 2-2 draw. Justin Kluivert, who made his minutes as a substitute, was still close to the winning goal in injury time, but was unable to score. Kluivert made his comeback in the match in the Volkswagen-Arena, just like Christopher Nkunku. Their return gives Julian Nagelsmann some extra attacking options, which is nice in the busy current period. In view of the desired fitness of his team, Nagelsmann will choose a few other players on Wednesday. Yussuf Poulsen could start in the base, and Dani Olmo might qualify for rest. The fans still have to wait for the first match of Winter-Neuzugang Dominik Szoboszlai, which probably won't be able to make an appearance until next month.

FC Union Berlin is unmistakably the team that manages to perform highest above expectations. The second club from Berlin was often written up with the relegation candidates prior to the season, but Die Eisernen are currently, about halfway through the season, far from the danger zone. In fact, Union is fully involved in European tickets. Last Friday, an important battle was made in that regard, with a 1-0 home win against Bayer Leverkusen. The good result against Leverkusen should come as no surprise, because Union is doing excellent this season against the top teams of the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfL Wolfsburg all lost points against Union. Sheraldo Becker was injured in last week's game and has a question mark behind his name before Wednesday. When he can't start, Cedric Teuchert - the lone goalscorer in the game against Leverkusen - is his most obvious substitute.
