The Bundesliga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Union Berlin lock horns with an impressive RB Leipzig side in a crucial clash at the Alte Forsterei on Saturday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig Preview
RB Leipzig are currently in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of SK Sturm Graz in the UEFA Champions League this week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Union Berlin, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The hosts suffered a damaging 3-1 defeat against FC St. Pauli in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
