I will be short here. This is the second meeting between the two teams in less than 5 days. And yes, there is an unwritten rule amongst betting professionals to avoid such moments when football teams meet in cup and then in a league but sometimes, I make an exception. Here, a win would really be big for both teams but hosts are looking for place in the Champions League, and are playing at home. And have already won after conceding first in the game on Thursday where RBL were victorious through a narrow score of 2-1. Now, RB Leipzig will be challenged again by Union Berlin in Bundesliga's 31st round.

Leipzig camp is filled with high confidence. I mean really high. Even though the chance to become Bundesliga champions has disappeared, at least they have a chance to win 1 trophy this season, namely the DFB Pokal Cup. Victory over Union Berlin in the semifinals yesterday also extended their unbeaten run in the last number of matches. The team led by Domenico Tedesco has not been touched by defeat in the last 15 matches in all competitions. Hosts are the team in the best form in the league in 2022. Leipzig's appearance under the care of the 36-year-old young coach is quite good. So far, 65 goals have been scored, the 4th most in the 2021/2022 Bundesliga. In addition, Die Roten Bullen also have a solid defense: only conceded 31 times, the second-fewest after Bayern Munich (29 conceded). The impressive performance of Leipzig's front lines cannot be separated from the role of Christopher Nkunku, a world-class player, who will most likely leave the club in the summer. The 24-year-old French forward has scored 30 goals in the Bundesliga this season and deserves special attention. The only RB Leipzig player who will be absent is Amadou Haidara. Meanwhile, Lukas Klostermann still has the opportunity to appear even though the previous match was absent due to COVID-19.

On the other side, Union Berlin will not make any changes in the match later. Their squad will likely be the same as in the DFB Cup semifinal match. Frederik Ronnow will remain in goal as first-choice goalkeeper Andreas Luthe is still recovering from a muscle injury. Union Berlin's ambition to bring home full points from the Leipzig headquarters is predicted to be difficult to achieve. The mentality of Urs Fischer's squad is faltering after failing to advance to the DFB Pokal final. In addition, Union also has a bad record when playing as a guest team. They have only been able to pick 1 win in their last 5 away games in the Bundesliga. This is also worthy of note for the coach. I think RBL will have an even easier time now winning over the same rivals and would predict a 2-0 or 3-1 victory.

我会简短地说。这是两队在不到5天的时间里第二次会面。没错，博彩专业人士之间有一条不成文的规则，那就是避免球队在杯赛和联赛中相遇，但有时我也会例外。在这里，一场胜利对两支球队来说都是非常重要的，但是东道主正在寻找冠军联赛的席位，并且正在主场作战。在周四的比赛中，RBL以2-1的比分险胜。现在，莱比锡将在德甲第31轮再次受到柏林联盟的挑战。

莱比锡阵营充满了信心。我是说非常高。尽管成为德甲冠军的机会已经消失，但他们至少有机会赢得本赛季的1座奖杯，即德国足协的博卡杯。昨天在半决赛中战胜柏林联盟也延续了他们在过去几场比赛中的不败纪录。由多梅尼科·特德斯科领导的这支球队在过去的15场比赛中从未遭遇过失败。东道主是2022年联赛中状态最好的球队。莱比锡的外表在这位36岁的年轻教练的照料下相当不错。到目前为止，共有65粒进球，在2021 - 2022赛季德甲联赛中排名第四。此外，布伦的防守也很牢靠:仅失球31次，仅次于拜仁慕尼黑(29次)。莱比锡一线队令人印象深刻的表现离不开克里斯托弗·恩昆库的作用，他是一名世界级的球员，很可能在夏天离开俱乐部。这位24岁的法国前锋本赛季在德甲联赛中打进了30个进球，值得特别关注。唯一缺席的莱比锡RB球员是海达拉。与此同时，由于新冠病毒感染症(COVID-19病毒)的影响，卢卡斯•克劳斯特曼虽然没有参加上一场比赛，但仍有机会上场。

另一方面，柏林联盟将不会在比赛中做出任何改变。他们的阵容可能会和德国杯半决赛的一样。弗雷德里克·朗诺将继续担任门将，而第一门将安德烈亚斯·卢斯还在从肌肉受伤中恢复。据预测，柏林联盟想要从莱比锡总部拿回全部积分的雄心很难实现。乌尔斯·费舍尔的球队在未能晋级世界杯决赛后，心态开始动摇。此外，联盟在作为客队的时候也有不好的记录。在过去的5场德甲客场比赛中，他们只赢过1场。这也是值得教练注意的。我认为现在的RBL将会有一个更容易的时间来击败同样的对手，并预计会以2-0或3-1获胜。
