RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting Tips (4 February)

Despite a rather decent first part of the season, RB Leipzig was unable to keep up with the leading team which will compete for the title in Germany. But it is especially since the winter break that this team is worried. Indeed, she has just conceded 3 defeats in as many matches. Beaten from the start by Eintracht Frankfurt 0-1, Marco Rose's men were dominated by two teams from the top of the table, Bayer Leverkusen 2-3 and especially Stuttgart 5-2 last week. Following this very bad start to the calendar year, the Red Bulls were chased out of the top 4 and they are now 3 points behind 4th place, the last qualifier for the Champions League. For their part, Union Berlin completely missed his first half of the year and now is no longer the time to win a place in any European competition.

On the contrary, the capital's players are still engaged in the fight for survival in the elite. This has also taken a rather good trajectory since the recovery. After taking a point at Freiburg 0-0, the Iron Men did rather well against Bayern Munich 1-0 despite the defeat. Finally, last week, they emerged victorious in their duel against Darmstadt 1-0 to take a 6-point lead over the first relegated team with a game in hand.

Absent for many months, Hungarian defender Orban was able to return to the group and even come into play last week. On the other hand, the Haïdara midfielder is still competing in the CAN with Mali at the moment. Suspended against Stuttgart, the great Dutch hope Xavi Simons (5 goals, 7 assists) is once again authorized to play but it will be the turn of the French defender Simakan to be sanctioned for an accumulation of yellow cards. New York), replacement Moriba (Getafe, loan) and rather disappointing striker Timo Werner (2 goals in 8 games, Tottenham, loan) took advantage of the winter transfer window to pack their bags while midfielder Elmas arrived from Naples. Last weekend, the Belgian Openda scored his 13th goal of the season in the Bundesliga while the Slovenian Sesko scored his 4th goal. In Berlin, the midfielder Khedira and the important full-back Juranovic are still on the floor but the Starting midfielder Laïdouni could make his return after being eliminated from the CAN. We could find in the group the former ASM Kevin Volland (2 goals) as well as the winter recruits which are the defender Vogt (Hoffenheim) and the French striker Bedia (Servette).

Arrived this week, winger Vertessen. (PSV) is not guaranteed to be present. In the opposite direction, the Ivorian striker Fofana (Chelsea, return from loan), the aging Bonucci (Fenerbahce) and the striker who became a substitute Becker (Real Sociedad) were looking at other projects. This is also the case for striker Behrens (4 goals) who took charge of Wolfsburg. Author of a bad gesture against Leroy Sané at the end of the match against Bayern, coach Nenad Bjelica must now serve a 2-match suspension.
