RB Leipzig will be at home against Union Berlin looking to get back to winning ways in the German Bundesliga. After 19 rounds of play, the hosts are fifth in the standings while their visitors are down in 15th place. RB Leipzig haven’t won in four league outings and have lost their last three fixtures. This run has seen them drop further behind in the race for Champions League football and they will be eager to end it. Marco Rose’s men have however in this run played two of the four teams above them in the league. After a 3-2 defeat to Leverkusen, they were hammered 5-2 last time out by Stuttgart. Their sixth loss of the season left them on 33 points, four points out of the top four. Die Roten Bullen won 3-0 in the reverse match with Berlin back in September.

Union Berlin have won in their last two trips to Leipzig. As they have in recent weeks seen an improvement in form, they will arrive here confident of another victory. Berlin have boosted immensely their survival hopes and have now clawed their way out of the relegation zone. Die Eisernen have earned 11 of their 17 points so far in their last seven games. Three of their five wins have come in this period, making the decision to appoint Nenad Bjelica as head coach the right one. Under the Croatian tactician, Union have lost only twice in six games. Before his appointment, they had lost nine of 10 matches. They now sit five points clear of the drop zone and are coming off a 1-0 win over Darmstadt.
