Leipzig vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga
by Joseph King in Bundesliga Predictions
Matchday three of the 2024/25 German Bundesliga season sees third-place RB Leipzig playing host to fifth-placed Union Berlin at Red Bull Arena. Let’s get into our prediction for this match between Die Roten Bullen and Die Eisernen.
It’s been a strong start to the season for Leipzig who already have a massive scalp under their belts. They were able to stage an incredible comeback after falling behind 2-0 to defending champions Leverkusen to ultimately walk away with a 3-2 road win. It means that Leipzig were the team to finally end Leverkusen’s 35 game league unbeaten run.
Leipzig have won all three competitive matches they’ve been a part of this season after wins over Bochum in the league and RW Essen in the DFB Pokal.
As for Union Berlin, they’ve also experienced a good start with a win and a draw putting them in fifth position.
They kicked off the new year with a 1-1 away draw against Mainz before taking all three points in a 1-0 home win over recently-promoted St. Pauli. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for Union Berlin who impressed German football fans with their consistency to grow as a club and secure back-to-back top five finishes.
However, their luck finally caught up to them last season as they narrowly finished above the relegation zone in 15th. With just the domestic competitions to deal with this season, the Iron Ones will be eyeing up a return to European football with a top-six finish.

Our Leipzig vs Union Berlin Prediction
RB Leipzig have started strong this season and should have a ton of momentum after ending Leverkusen’s unbeaten run. They’ve proven to be a excellent second half team, posting a 56% winning percentage in the second 45 minutes over the last three seasons.
Union are coming off a dreadful 2023/24 campaign but they’ve already shown plenty of positive signs. Still, we aren’t quite ready to get behind the Iron Ones and think that they could fade in the second half of this matchup. Our RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin prediction: Leipzig to win the second half.
