Game Preview
When Union Berlin visits RB Leipzig for a Bundesliga game on Saturday, they will be looking to win their fifth straight league game. Leipzig hopes to get back to winning ways after drawing with FC Koln the last time out. They would consider their upcoming opponents a significant top four challenger this season.
Despite the fact that Leipzig’s goalless draw against Koln extended their unbeaten streak to an incredible 18 games across all competitions, it did mean that they lost ground to the teams above them in the table, including Bayern Munich, Union Berlin, and Borussia Dortmund, while also allowing Eintracht Frankfurt to draw closer to them by one point.
Marco Rose’s team failed to make the necessary breakthrough despite keeping the hosts from recording a single shot on target in a scrappy match that saw more yellow cards than corners and neither side even reached double digits in terms of total shots.
Overall though, Rose’s Die Roten Bulen are unquestionably moving in the right direction. Rose lost two of his first three matches as manager after taking over for Domenico Tedesco in September, but he has since amassed an exceptionally amazing unbroken record of 14 victories and four draws across all competitions.
They have a quarterfinal matchup in the DFB-Pokal to look forward to later this season after facing Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the Champions League last-16 later this month thanks to their outstanding run of play.
Union Berlin will undoubtedly have highlighted Saturday’s match as a crucial turning moment in their season after finishing just one point behind Leipzig to narrowly lose out on qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history last season.

The only time Urs Fischer’s team has defeated Leipzig this year was a 2-1 triumph at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in August, but that was before Rose’s hiring and their subsequent notable improvement in results.
The encounter this weekend should therefore be much tougher for Die Eisernen, especially as it will be played away from home. However, they were keen to improve at least slightly on the previous campaign and earn a top four position after returning from the World Cup having won all five of their games in all competitions.
