RB Leipzig vs. Union Berlin Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between RB Leipzig and Union Berlin, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at The Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.
RB Leipzig, Recent Form
RB Leipzig will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-2 away win against Bayer Leverkusen. They came away from that fixture with 37% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Bayer Leverkusen managed 26 attempts on goal, with 10 on target.
Manager Marco Rose will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 13 games in a row.
Benjamin Šeško will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for RB Leipzig.
Union Berlin, Recent Form
Union Berlin head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 1-0 home win against St. Pauli in their last league encounter. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. St. Pauli had 8 shots on goal with 1 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Union Berlin, Benedict Hollerbach will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
