Team News

RBL
Union Berlin
  • Vice captain Diego Demme has surprisingly left to join Napoli so, having recovered from a long-term injury, Tyler Adams looks set to get a run in midfield.
  • Patrik Schick may come in up front to freshen things up in attack.
  • Ibrahima Konaté is nearing a return to the squad after almost shaking off a muscle injury.
  • Skipper Willi Orban is continuing his recovery from a knee op.
  • Kevin Kampl is still ruled out after a foot operation.
  • Swiss coach Urs Fischer will likely keep faith with the bulk of the side that has risen away from relegation strife.
  • Felix Kroos, brother of the slightly more talented Toni, has shaken off a back injury.
  • Anthony Ujah could start alongside top scorer Sebastian Andersson, with ex-QPR striker Sebastian Polter also pushing for a spot.
  • Striker Suleiman Abdullahi and Joshua Mees are still out.
  • Akaki Gogia continues his recovery from a torn ACL.
  • Midfielder Grischa Prömel has shaken off a long-term knee problem.

Prediction

  • If Leipzig are to go the distance in the title race, this is the sort of game the east German side simply must win.
  • On paper this looks like a routine home win but this has banana skin written all over it.
