Leipzig vs Union Berlin Prediction & Picks - Bundesliga
by Edgar Jibran | in Bundesliga Picks
The best European soccer leagues are still very far from showing the real expectations that most of the teams could have for this season. In Bundesliga’s case, RB Leipzig is one of the teams that had a perfect start after winning their first two matches, however it’s well-known that this is a very irregular team. With that in mind, next Saturday they’ll face Union Berlin at 07:30 am Central Time, match in which Leipzig is the absolute favorite to win.
When looking at both teams’ performance, RB Leipzig is already showing that this season won’t be an exception to the rule, because even when they offered such an amazing spectacle in their 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen, they had an unbrilliant match against Bochum in their 2024/25 debut. In this regard, Openda is expected to carry on with his great individual performance, as his effectiveness was crucial against Leverkusen.
On Union Berlin’s case, they also had a wonderful beginning of the season as they remain unbeaten after their first 2 matches of the season. For this team the main expectancy is to keep as far as possible from the relegation spots, as it was one of the biggest concerns they had during the previous season. Nevertheless, they mustn’t be overconfident of the good results they already achieved, since this will be their first match against a competitive team.
