Leipzig vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

 by Daniel Ngulu | in Bundesliga Prediction

Leipzig and Union Berlin face off in one of the highlight matches set for the 17th round in the Bundesliga and this match will go a long way in boosting the teams’ Champions League ambitions. Leipzig, the hosts, have 32 points and are second going to this game, four points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Union Berlina on the other hand, are fifth, with 28 points. In their last two matches, Leipzig have dropped five points, and couldn’t take advantage even when Bayern slipped up. They will be hoping for better times here and though they have conceded five goals in the last two matches, Leipzig still holds the best defence in the league, having let in 14 goals. However, they have the poorest attack among the top five teams, having scored 28 goals. In fact, in the top 10, they have only outscored Wolfsburg, who have 24 goals. The shortage of goals is perhaps the main reason the team hasn’t yet settled at the top of the league standings. They have scored more than one goal in just one of their last five league matches, but have three clean sheets in the process, and failed to score completely in just one. In their last 11 matches, Leipzig have one loss, and seven wins. Ahead of this game, they drew 2-2 with Wolfsburg, recovering from the 3-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund. The hosts have a knack for second half goals – four of their last five goals in the last five league matches came in the second half. They drew 0-0 at half time in four of their last five league matches and go to this game winless in the last two league games at home. Three of their last five league games at home have produced over 2.5 goals and they also have three clean sheets in the run.

Union Berlin will be eying a rise to third place with three points from this match. They have no loss in the last six league matches and just one loss in 15. In their first season in the top flight after promotion, they finished 11th and this season they are among contenders for a Champions League slot. It is not very clear that they will get it, but from their form this season, it looks like an achievable target. The team’s main strength has been in attack, scoring in all their last 15 league games. Union Berlin’s only loss in the last five matches came in the German Cup but they have scored twice in four of their last five matches. Heading to this game, they pulled a big shock in Round 16, beating Leverkusen 1-0 with Cedric Teuchert ‘s 88th minute goal. The win came with their second clean sheet in five matches and they have scored two or more in eight of their last 10 league matches. The team’s prolific goal-return makes it the joint second best attack in the league, with 32 goals. Away from home in the league, Union have one loss in seven, and one clean sheet in 13. They have scored twice in four of their last five away league matches.

Our Leipzig vs Union Berlin Prediction

Leipzig have the best defence in the Bundesliga this season, but has let in five goals in the last two matches. This is a weakness that will be further exposed by Union Berlin, who are not only the joint second best scorers, but also have scored at least two goals in eight of the last 10 league matches. Union Berlin are fast starters and score more in the opening half, while Leipzig are more active in attack in the second half. With the attack/defence balance between the two sides, we feel a draw in the first half and a home win in the second can pass, so go for a Leipzig win.

Leipzig wins the match
