One team who has hit a bump in the road of late in the Bundesliga is RB Leipzig, who will look to return to winning ways when they host Union Berlin on Sunday afternoon.
Leipzig winless in their previous four league gamesMarco Rose’s team is not only winless in four Bundesliga games, but they have also suffered three straight league defeats. Last time out in the German top flight, Die Roten Bullen suffered a 5-2 hammering at Stuttgart.
Leipzig’s recent run of form has seen them slip to fifth place in the table, three points behind fourth-place Dortmund, who occupy the last Champions League spot in the Bundesliga.
The home team may have lost their last two Bundesliga games on home soil, but they had also won their four previous league games at the Red Bull Arena and tend to be strong on home soil.
The home team’s recent Bundesliga games in front of their own supporters have certainly not disappointed when it comes to goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches.
Union picked up a vital win last time outThe boys from Berlin picked up what could be a vital 1-0 home win over Darmstadt last time out. The victory was only Union’s third win in their previous 16 outings in the German top-flight, but it moved Union five points clear of the league's bottom three and six clear of the automatic relegation spots.
There hasn’t been much in Union’s recent games, as their last four outings in the Bundesliga have produced under 2.5 goals.
Union Berlin has been atrocious on their travels of late in the Bundesliga, having failed to win in eight away games, having picked up just one draw and suffered seven defeats.
What am I backing?Despite both teams' results last time out, I am backing the home win as Leipzig is generally good on home soil, while Union travel poorly.
