Prediction

  • Union have already surpassed last season's 41 points and are on course for a Europa Conference spot at the very minimum.
  • Julian Nagelsmann ends his Leipzig spell and the alleged "Wundertrainer" has still never won any silverware in professional football, just like current club RB Leipzig. Never mind Julian a few bits of silverware are surely reserved at next club Bayern Munich.
  • Union Berlin have a league high 13 draws with eight at home and that could be a good option here.

  • Leipzig didn't just play boring football but also scored 40 goals less than Bayern ! Nagelsmann won't do well in Munich, he does not stand for attractive football.

  • @neumi17 true, but it's strange that Leipzig doesn't have a striker

  • Leipzig look like they always find a way to outscore the opposition in the 2nd half. Win there

  • @maauthi What ? Leipzig hardly ever scores a goal ...

  • Union Berlin - RB Leipzig 2:2(0:0)
