Bundesliga Action at the An der Alten Försterei Stadium – Union Berlin face RB Leipzig

Next Saturday at 6:30pm GMT, on matchday 3 of the Bundesliga, we will see Union Berlin play Leipzig at the An der Alten Försterei Stadium.

This clash sees fifth placed Union Berlin, welcome twelfth placed Leipzig to the An der Alten Försterei Stadium.

With the Bundesliga season well into its stride, Union Berlin have managed to gain four points

With Urs Fischer’s men stubbornly held to a 0-0 draw in their last match, he will hope to find the key to unlock the defence in this fixture.

Also, with one draws in one game, Manager Urs Fischer has plenty to ponder, going into the next game, not least of which is how to get the wins he needs. Now they have 1 matches won, 0 games lost and 1 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in fifth place, with a total of four points having won one game and drawn one game.

Union Berlin have won one game of their one League matches at home this season.

Winning this fixture will see Union Berlin on 7 points.

Good atacking and defensive team

Union Berlin have conceded one goal so far, so their defence can be considered to be strong. This has been a good season so far for Union Berlin, in terms of goals scored (3). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Sheraldo Becker (1), Robin Knoche (1), and Jordan Siebatcheu (1).

Urs Fischer will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of one of his Union Berlin players.

RB Leipzig arrive at this fixture, having secured two points so far this season

A 3rd successive, disappointing result for Leipzig will not be acceptable for Domenico Tedesco’s men. They will see this fixture as an opportunity to turn their form around after drawing 2-2 at FC Köln and 1-1 at Stuttgart.

Also, a draw statistic of two in two matches is not all bad, but unfortunately will not bring the success Domenico Tedesco’s men wishes for ultimately. With two points, they currently sit twelfth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 0 wins, 0 losses and 2 draws having drawn two fixtures.

Playing away from home, Leipzig have drawn one game.

RB Leipzig will have secured 5 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

Good Attacking Performance

Leipzig have a good scoring record this season, with three netted so far. Their stand out attacking players have been Christopher Nkunku (2), Timo Werner (1), and Josko Gvardiol (1). Teams that leak goals on a consistent basis, don’t tend to win anything, such is the situation with Leipzig so far, having conceded 3 goals in their last matches so far.

Leipzig are likely to be missing four of their key players when they start Saturday’s game, due to injury and illness.
