Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Union Berlin and Leipzig square off against each other at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The capital aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to St. Pauli, but they face yet another difficult task this weekend. Midfielder Leopold Querfeld is back from suspension, while all Kevin Vogt, Yannic Stein, and Frederik Roennow remain in the recovery room.
The Reds Bulls, on the other hand, have been involved in some high scoring games of late. Leipzig look sharp up front, while struggling on the travels and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Castello Lukeba, Xaver Schlager, Timo Werner, Andre Silva, and Benjamin Henrichs continue to miss out with injuries for the away team. Anyhow, a lively contest is on the cards in Berlin.
Highlighted Player (Willi Orban):
Willi Orban was born on 3 November, 1992 in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Orban plays as a centre back, but he can operate as a defensive midfielder as well. The 185-cm-tall footballer is a product of Kaiserslautern’s youth academy and he played 35 league games for the reserve team between 2011 and 2013.
Orban made his debut for the first team in 2011, against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. The Kaiserslautern footballer made 68 league appearances for Kaiserslautern, scoring 7 goals for the German outfit between 2011 and 2015, but in May 2015 he signed a contract with Leipzig. Kaislerslautern fans were very angry with the defender when he decided to join die Bullen.
Willi Orban has two caps for Germany U21, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. He has a contract with Leipzig, which expires on 30 June, 2019. Willi Orban has a dual citizenship (Germany, Hungary).
Highlighted Team (Union Berlin):
Union Berlin are a German football club originally founded back in 1906. Die Eisernen play home games at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei which can hold up to 22,012 spectators. Union Berlin’s home kit is red, with the team wearing white shirts and white shorts on the travels.
Union Berlin finished the 1923 domestic campaign as runners-up, with the team suffering a 3-0 loss to Hamburger SV in the title game. Speaking of the club’s biggest success in the German Cup, die Eisernen made it to the final of the competition in the 2000/2001 season. Schalke, though, proved to be a big catch for Union Berlin in the decider, with Jorg Bohme scoring a brace for die Knappen (2-0).
Union Berlin will face their local rivals Hertha in the 2019/2020 Bundesliga season as they secured promotion to the German top flight, but Hansa Rostock are considered the club’s main rivals.
