RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin Prediction
RB Leipzig come into this game on the back of two poor results. Julian Nagelsmann's side are second in the league table, four points behind Bayern Munich, but missed the opportunity to become league leaders.
Union Berlin, on the other hand, have perhaps been the surprise performers of the season so far. They are fifth in the league table and have enjoyed some fine results.
Germany international Max Kruse has been crucial, but in his injury-enforced absence, other players have stepped up.
Both sides have done well this season, and a draw seems to be the most likely result.
Prediction: RB Leipzig 1-1 Union Berlin
