Bitesize Prediction: Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig – 03/09/23

Competition: Bundesliga

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ BetUS

In what could prove to be an action-packed affair from the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Sunday afternoon, RB Leipzig will make the trip to Union Berlin.

Starting with the hosts, making real history last season as they claimed a famous top-four finish, Union Berlin are certainly riding a remarkable wave of momentum. Opening the 2023/24 campaign with a thumping 4-1 victory at home against Mainz, Urs Fischer’s men have quickly established themselves as one of Germany’s elite. Last seen putting in another heavyweight performance as they claimed another 4-1 romp away at Darmstadt, the Irons Ones will be looking to make another statement this weekend. Signing off their pre-season by hitting Italian giants Atalanta for four, Berlin hold a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring displays in the final third. Notching a staggering 16 goals in just their previous four appearances across all formats, Fischer’s side have also continued to shine on home soil. In fact, Sunday’s hosts have not suffered a single Bundesliga defeat at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei over the past 18 months. It should also be highlighted, continuing on from last season, Union have seen four of their previous five top-flight matchups finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, although RB Leipzig might have opened the 2023/24 campaign with an action-packed 3-2 defeat away at Bayer Leverkusen, the Red Bulls certainly came roaring back last weekend. Eventually mounting a comeback on home soil as they cruised their way to a 5-1 romp against Stuttgart, Marco Rose’s men have their sights set on mounting a genuine Bundesliga title charge this time around. Signing off last season by winning each of their final five top-flight showdowns, the former Borussia Dortmund boss is now calling on his squad to find some much-needed defensive resolve. Failing to muster a single Bundesliga clean sheet from their previous five attempts, neutrals could be treated to another thriller from the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei this weekend. Suffering a 2-1 loss when they last met Sunday’s opponents back on February 11th, it should also be highlighted that each of their previous four Bundesliga meetings have finished with both teams getting on the scoresheet. A contest that famously produces a string of chances, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
