Prediction: 1-1
Leipzig
Union Berlin and Leipzig go head to head at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in the opening match of day 14. The capital club aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, with the team eyeing their fifth home win of the process. Kevin Behrens has been tested positive for coronavirus, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. The Red Bulls, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend.
Leipzig have been playing some high-scoring games of late, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday’s football game. All Hugo Novoa, Willi Orban, Peter Gulacsi, and Mohamed Simakan remain quarantined, while Dani Olmo, Yussuf Poulsen, Marcel Halstenberg, and Marcelo Saracchi should miss out with injuries. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards in Berlin, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.
