Leipzig
Although the club and exists not so long ago, Leipzig is already steadily fighting for the top-4 in Germany, so it was last season, when they managed to finish fourth. The start of the championship turned out to be encouraging, the team won both meetings, thanks to which they now share the lead.
In the first round “bulls” defeated on their field Bochum with a score of 1:0, and in the second meeting defeated away reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen - 3:2. Before the Bundesliga games Leipzig had time to play a match in the German Cup, where they confidently beat Essen away - 4:1.
Union Berlin

The main problems were in the Bundesliga, where they had to fight for survival. Only in the last round the team broke through to the saving 15th place, ahead of Bochum only on additional indicators.
Apparently, the conclusions from last season are made, because in two rounds the team scored 4 points, first played 1:1 away against Mainz, and then on their field beat the newcomer St. Pauli with a score of 1:0. In addition, managed to start with a win in the German Cup, where they beat little-known Grafswald 1-0 away
