According to bookies, RB Leipzig are clear favorites to win this match. The hosts have won their last 5 home fixtures against Union Berlin in all competitions.
However, we believe it’s better to bet a double chance to minimize the risk combined with a both to score bet to have better odds.
RBL have seen more than 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 fixtures against Union Berlin in all competitions.
As the guests from Berlin are also battling to play in the European arena, we believe that both teams will play attacking football and score a lot. In any case, more than one goal.
RB Leipzig will host Union Berlin for the second time this week.
Sweden national team player Emil Forsberg scored in injury time to send his team back into the DFB Pokal final with a 2-1 win at home over Union Berlin on Wednesday.
However, the next few weeks will be tough for Domenico Tedesco’s side.
The Red Bulls are currently in 3rd position in Germany’s top division standings with 54 points, but just 3 points above 5th-placed Freiburg. They are not secured their next season’s Champions League spot yet. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig have reached the UEFA Europa League semi-finals. They will face the Scottish side Rangers.

On the other hand, it was a hugely frustrating evening for Union Berlin players as they lost a great opportunity to win the German Cup for the first time in their history.
Although they are knocked out from the DFB Pokal, Urs Fischer’s team have already impressed this season. Having won 13, drawn 8, and lost 9, they are in 6th in Bundesliga standings and hope to catch European football.
