Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

The last two games between these clubs have ended in a draw.

FC Union Berlin will now lock horns with RB Leipzig for their matchweek 14 contest of the 2025-26 Bundesliga. Stadion An der Alten Försterei will host this interesting contest between these sides.

The Iron Ones have performed poorly in their last three matches. They have also been eliminated from the DFB-Pokal after losing their game against Bayern Munich. FC Union Berlin lost their last German league fixture against VfL Wolfsburg. Even though they will be at home for their next game, it is not going to be an easy outing for them.

The Red Bulls are performing well in their current Bundesliga campaign as they are placed second on the points table. They secured a dominating 6-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt in their previous outing. RB Leipzig will be keen to maintain their form and look for another win to reduce their gap to the top spot.

• Location: Berlin, Germany
• Stadium: Stadion An der Alten Försterei
• Date: Saturday, December 13

Players to Watch

Ilyas Ansah (Union Berlin)

Even though he only has five goal involvements in 13 Bundesliga appearances this season, Ilyas Ansah is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for FC Union Berlin. He will be looking to come up with a top performance so that he can help his side outplay the visitors.

Yan Diomande (RB Leipzig)

Yan Diomande is coming in after scoring a sensational hat-trick in the previous game for the Red Bulls. It was a top performance from the 19-year-old and will be looking to threaten the opponent’s defence yet again. Diomande is going to lead the attack from the right and is going to be a constant threat to the Iron Ones.
