This will be an intriguing battle and we will focus on Yangasport for our tips in this Bundesliga prediction.
UNION BERLIN
Frankfurt’s Evan Dicka’s match-winner in the 5th minute of stoppage time cut through Union Berlin’s collective psyche like a knife through butter as they were left ruing what could have been a shared point which turned into a 2-1 loss last weekend.
They will be glad to be back in their backyard which has been an absolute fortress for them with just a single defeat here in their seven home league games this term. That single loss came against Bayern Munich and there is no shame in losing to one of the best teams in Europe.
Despite the loss, Union are in 6th place on the log, which is a spot better than the remarkable 7th place finish that earned them a slot in the Europa Conference. They have set their sights higher this time and will spare no effort in trying to actualize them.
RB LEIPZIG
Leipzig have been a pale shadow of the perennial top four finishers from the last few years. Ahead of this trip to the capital, they find themselves in 8th place after back to back league losses away at Hoffenheim and at home to Leverkusen last time out.
New manager Jesse March has struggled to establish any kind of rhythm here with his side blowing hot and cold to start the season, losing as many games as they have won.
His cause has not been helped by a COVID-19 outbreak that has spread like bushfire in the squad, including himself. In his absence, his assistant Achim Beierlorzer has been running the show. That aside, the Red Bulls away record has been abysmal and they will have their work cut out here.

UNION BERLIN VS RB LEIPZIG PREDICTIONS
Union’s home record makes it impossible to ignore. They have routinely put teams to the sword here with ease. They are the long shot according to bookies but we feel the bookies do not have their pulse on what has been an impressive showing by the home team at this venue this season. That, combined with RB Leipzig’s terrible record on the road, plus their COVID issues makes it impossible to ignore Union’s potential edge in this game. We are picking them to win with a +1 handicap which is priced @ 1.86 at Yangasport our initial betting tip.
With both teams having lost their last matches, we feel they will approach this match with a bit of caution so as not to slide any further. As such we fancy the 1st half of the game to be a bit close with neither team willing to cede too much ground to start the game. Under 1.5 Goals @ 1.44 with Yangasport also looks attractive enough and we are snapping it up for our last call.
