Match preview
Union Berlin continues to be in a crisis situation. In the last 12 Bundesliga matches, the team has won only one game, and also recorded 3 draws and 8 losses. Under the guidance of Steffen Baumgart, the team is rapidly falling down the standings, and there are no signs that they will be able to change their situation.
Currently, Union is in 14th place in the Bundesliga standings with 20 points. They are just six points ahead of the relegation zone. It’s worth noting the attacking problems, as goals are hard to come by, and the defense has lost its previous reliability, worsening the situation. In 3 of the last 4 matches, Union failed to score, and in 6 of the last 8 games, they conceded at least two goals.
Leipzig, in their last match, drew 2:2 with reigning champions Bayer, extending their winless streak in the Bundesliga to three matches (2 draws and 1 loss). Defensive issues for Leipzig are still relevant: the team has conceded at least two goals in five of their last matches.
Despite this, Leipzig remains in 5th place in the standings. Moreover, under the guidance of Marco Rose, the team has not won 5 of their last 6 away Bundesliga matches (1 draw and 4 losses). However, it’s fair to mention that in 4 of those 6 matches, Leipzig faced teams participating in European competitions.
Probable line-ups
- Union: Alexander Schwolow – Leopold Querfeld, Danilo Duki, Diogo Leite – Josip Juranović, Aleš Kemlein, András Schäfer, Robert Sko, Janik Haberer – Jordan Sibacho, Benedikt Hollerbach
