Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig Bet Builder Tips – 6/1 Bundesliga Special, Analysis & Predictions

Looking to extend on their sensational Bundesliga romp, RB Leipzig will travel to the German capital on Friday night when they meet Union Berlin.

Although the Red Bulls might have endured a public domestic struggle last season, Ole Werner’s men have made a string of improvements this time around and have continued to receive a string of plaudits from across Germany’s elite.

Although some in Berlin’s camp might have been hoping to mount a genuine top-half charge this time around, the Irons Ones have shown a string of issues on either side of November’s international break and look set for another stern challenge here.

Two camps who find the moods in their respective camps at a polar opposite, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig Bet Builder Tips.

Leipzig looking to make another statement

Eventually forced to settle for a seventh-place finish among Germany’s elite last season and failing to book any kind of European adventure, RB Leipzig faced a major backlash during the summer break.

However, continuing to shine since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Werner’s men have made a string of improvements and certainly deserve all of the plaudits that are coming their way.

Last seen putting in a sensational performance as they stormed their way to a 6-0 romp at home against Champions League outfit Eintracht Frankfurt, the former Werder Bremen boss will be dreaming of a repeat display here.

Currently sat in silver medal position and widely regarded as Bayern Munich’s main title threat, Leipzig have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 14 appearances across all competitions – a purple patch that stems all the way back to the opening weekend.

Sat firmly in the driving seat to book a lucrative Champions League return this season, Werner’s high-flying squad should be relishing a trip to the German capital this weekend.

Berlin bracing themselves for a relegation scrap

Getting the new campaign underway with an eye-catching 2-1 victory away at Stuttgart on August 23rd, some in Union Berlin’s camp would have been dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine top-half charge.

However, crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion, the Irons Ones are once again looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap and are set for another stern examination this weekend.

Last seen falling to a routine 3-1 defeat away at Wolfsburg, Friday’s hosts have lost all of their previous three domestic appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 8-4.

Watching their DFP Pokal adventure come to an end earlier in the month as they suffered a 3-2 loss at home against Bayern Munich, Berlin have also mustered just a sole win from any of their last seven showdowns against top-flight opposition.

It should also be highlighted, Steffen Baumgart’s side have recorded just a pair of Bundesliga victories at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei since the start of April.

Baumgartner to spearhead Leipzig’s charge

While 19-year-old sensation Yan Diomande might have notched a Bundesliga hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt last week, it is worth keeping an eye out for another one of Leipzig’s red-hot stars here.

Embarking on what has become a stunning start to the new campaign, Christoph Baumgartner has already shattered a string of personal records and is certainly in the form of his life.

Also getting on the scoresheet last week and registering a pair of Bundesliga assists, the Austrian international has quickly become one of the main poster boys in Leipzig and will be confident of extending on his dominant run here.

In fact, recording a pair of DFP Pokal strikes against Magdeburg earlier in the month, the 26-year-old has also registered 12 direct goal contributions in his first 13 Bundesliga outings this season (six goals, six assists).

Meet a Union Berlin defence who have continued to show some real defensive struggles on either side of November’s international break, Baumgartner will be looking to steal centre stage this weekend.
