RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin Prediction: Leipzig to win the context

The Bundesliga's vibrant tapestry of football is set to be enriched by another intriguing chapter as RB Leipzig squares off with Union Berlin at the now-famous Red Bull Arena in Leipzig. This game is in-game week 20 of the Bundesliga and scheduled for 4th February 2024 at 19:30 (GMT+3).

With Leipzig losing to Stuttgart and losing ground on the top 4 teams who qualify for Champions League football, this encounter will be highly contested as Leipzig will want to play Champions League football. For Union Berlin, it is a chance to avoid relegation  which is disappointing considering how well they have played in the past two seasons

As the match day approaches, the anticipation builds for a contest that promises to showcase the unpredictable and thrilling nature of German football.

RB Leipzig has been losing ground on the top four teams in the Bundesliga mainly due to the team dropping points which is concerning considering how well the team started the season. Their recent results in the league include a 3-1 win against Hoffenheim, a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen, a 0-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, a 2-3 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, and another loss to Stuttgart (5-2). 

RB Leipzig has demonstrated robust attacking capabilities, consistently finding the back of the net. However, they have also shown some vulnerability in defence, as evidenced by the goals conceded in several matches. The home form of Leipzig has been amazing with the team recording three wins and two losses in the last five games. 

Union Berlin's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent but the form of the team this whole season has been very disappointing considering how high the team was flying in the past two seasons. 

The last five games in the Bundesliga include a draw against Freiburg, wins against Monchengladbach and Koln, and losses against Bochum and Bayern Munich. Away from home, Union Berlin is without a win in the last five games played in the Bundesliga with the team losing four and drawing one without scoring a goal but conceding 10.

Both teams will want the 3 points for different reasons. Union Berlin will want to survive the season no matter how challenging it will be while the RB Leipzig will be aiming for a push-up on the league table. Given the poor form of Union Berlin, expect RB Leipzig to win.

Considering these factors, a possible prediction might be a 0 - 3 or 0 - 4 win for RB Leipzig.
