Leipzig plays host to Union Berlin at the Red Bull Arena for this semi-final match in the German Cup. The home team will be facing their first top flight opponent in the competition after they had an easy route to the semi-final beating two Bundesliga 2 teams in the previous two rounds. Leipzig are on a superb run of form and are unbeaten in their last 17 matches across all competition with 13 wins and 4 draws. They have won their last three league matches and are now in third place on the table and are well on course to secure a Champions League berth. Leipzig are also through to the semi-finals of the Europa League and will be hoping to complete a Cup double for the first time in their history. They are unbeaten in their last ten home matches.

Union Berlin will need to win away from home if they are to make the final of the German Cup. They comfortably beat Bundesliga 2 team St. Pauli 2-0 in the last round but their real test was in the round of 16 when they beat city rivals Hertha Berlin. Union Berlin have won their last three league matches and are currently in sixth place on the table. They will be looking to hold onto sixth spot as it is an automatic entry into the Europa Conference League. Union Berlin won their last away match 4-1 against Hertha Berlin, a result that ended a horror run of four successive away defeats. The last four matches between these teams have been won by the home side.
