Preview
RB Leipzig and Union Berlin meet at Red Bull Arena, in a match for the 18th round of the Bundesliga. RB Leipzig got an away win by (0‑4), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 18‑08‑2019. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 2 matches they won 2. RB Leipzig registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Leipzig

The home team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 37 points won, after 11 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Borussia Dortmund, by (3‑3). In the last match, they won in a home match against Augsburg, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 41 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 34 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 8 home league matches RB Leipzig has a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 17 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 wins in the last home matches and they haven't lost any of the last 5 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 8 of the last 8 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

The top of the Bundesliga table is well balanced and being in the lead does not give RB Leipzig peace of mind. The team knows that in order to stay that way they should maintain a regularity, always keeping a good sequence in the results. That's why they don't think about losing points at home and from the beginning of the game they must impose themselves. Of course they should maintain respect for their opponent, but they know that they have full conditions to leave the field with victory. In this match Kevin Kampl, Ibrahima Konaté and Willi Orban will be left out for being in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Péter Gulácsi, Marcel Halstenberg, Dayot Upamecano, Lukas Klostermann, Nordi Mukiele, Marcel Sabitzer, Konrad Laimer, Christopher Nkunku, Tyler Adams, Patrik Schick, Timo Werner.
Coach: D. Tedesco.

Analysis Union Berlin

The away team is currently in the 11th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 6 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Hoffenheim, by (0‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 30 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 17 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Ferencváros by (3‑2). In the last 8 away league matches Union Berlin has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 24 possible. In their away league matches, the most frequent final score was the 2‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Union Berlin have been campaigning in their own reality and at least hope to stay that way. The main goal is to stay away from the relegation zone and to make this a reality they have to earn as many points as possible. As they will face opponents with their own interests, they must find ways to excel and this will require a lot of attention. In the current round the difficulty tends to be very big and to get at least a draw must have an above average performance. In this match Akaki Gogia, Laurenz Dehl, Suleiman Abdullahi, Joshua Mees, Grischa Prömel and Lennard Maloney will be out for being in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafał Gikiewicz, Neven Subotić, Christopher Lenz, Julian Ryerson, Marvin Friedrich, Christian Gentner, Marius Bülter, Michael Parensen, Robert Andrich, Sebastian Andersson, Marcus Ingvartsen.
Coach: N. Bjelica.
