The home side have made a strong start to their campaign and are in third place with six points after two matchweeks, while the visitors are fifth with four points following their 1-0 win against newly-promoted St Pauli on August 30.

Leipzig is in a good moment and defeated champions Bayer Leverkusen after going 35 games without losing.

They are one of the teams that are in first places and the team's objective is to stay in those positions.

The team coached by Marco Rose are also unknown in their last eight home matches at the Red Bull Arena, winning six times and keeping six clean sheets.

Willi Orban is suspended.

Union Berlin are also unbeaten in the league, but have played against weaker opponents than Leipzig. Last season they had a complicated championship and the main objective is to have a smooth championship and without European competitions they will achieve it.

The visitors have been poor away from home for some time and have won just once in their last 17 league games on the road, losing 11 times and drawing on five occasions.

Josip Juranovic and Kevin Volland are out with injuries.

The home team is stronger and are the big favorites to win. Leipzig have to continue their great form and to do that they have to play well to win this game. Union Berlin is an interesting team and if the home team doesn't play well they could have problems.

主队开局不错，在两场比赛后积6分排名第三，而客队在8月30日1-0战胜新升级的圣保利后积4分排名第五。

莱比锡目前状态不错，在连续35场不败的情况下击败了冠军勒沃库森。

他们是排名第一的球队之一，球队的目标是保持在这些位置上。

这支由马尔科·罗斯(Marco Rose)执教的球队在红牛球场的最近8场主场比赛中也表现不佳，6次获胜，6次零封对手。

威利·欧尔班被停职。

柏林联盟在联赛中也保持不败，但对阵的对手比莱比锡弱。上赛季他们有一个复杂的冠军，主要目标是有一个顺利的冠军，没有欧洲比赛他们将实现这一目标。

客队在客场表现欠佳已经有一段时间了，在过去的17场客场比赛中只赢了一场，11场失利，5场平局。

尤拉诺维奇和沃兰因伤缺阵。

主队实力更强，是最有希望获胜的球队。莱比锡必须继续保持良好的状态，要做到这一点，他们必须打好比赛才能赢得这场比赛。柏林联盟是一支有趣的球队，如果主队踢得不好，他们可能会遇到麻烦。
