RB Leipzig has one ultimate goal this season - win the Bundesliga. They are doing well so far, being second in the league with four points less than Bayern. This is the right opportunity for Leipzig to top the ladder, considering Bayern's signs of slowing down. They will be facing Union Berlin, a team that has performed over anyone's expectations this season. The Iron Ones are fifth-placed, and are missing only a point to claim the top four. Historically, these two sides have met here on four occasions, with Leipzig winning all four. RB has a stronger squad, a more consistent one, and are enjoying the advantage of the home ground.

The hosts will be without Szoboszlai, Konate, Henrichs, Laimer, Samardzic, and Hwang. Their first home loss this season came against Dortmund, with RB winning in six of the eight home matches. They are the best defensive side in the league, conceding only 14 goals, just 6 at home. Their attack has been doing its job, finding the net 28 times, with 17 goals coming at home. Nagelsmann's top scorers, Poulsen and Angelino are fit, so are the rest of his key players. I anticipate Leipzig's close victory, considering Berlin's current shape.

Union Berlin will deal with the injuries of Becker, Hubner, Kruse, Pohjanpalo, Promel, and Ujah. These people have scored 50% of Berlin's total goals and their absences will make a difference. Only 12 out of Union's 32 goals have occurred at visitings. Fischer's men have received 20 goals so far, with 9 coming on the road. Union Berlin has lost only to Hertha Berlin on the road, with the game ending 3-1. This team has conceded three or more in all but one loss to RB Leipzig, 3-1 and 0-4 respectively last season.

莱比锡本赛季有一个终极目标——赢得德甲。他们目前表现不错，在联赛中排名第二，比拜仁少4分。考虑到拜仁的放缓迹象，这对莱比锡来说是一个绝佳的机会。他们将面对的对手是柏林联队，这支球队在本赛季的表现超出了所有人的预期。铁队排名第五，只差一分就进入前四名。历史上，这两支球队在这里相遇过四次，莱比锡赢了所有四次。巴里切罗的阵容更强大，更稳定，并且享受着主场的优势。

东道主将没有绍博斯莱、科纳特、亨里奇、莱默、萨马德奇和黄西。他们本赛季首个主场失利是在对多特蒙德的比赛中，RB在8场主场比赛中赢了6场。他们是联盟中防守最好的球队，只丢了14个球，其中6个是在主场。他们的进攻发挥了应有的作用，28次进球，其中17个进球来自主场。内格尔斯曼的顶级射手，鲍尔森和安杰利诺都很好，他的其他关键球员也都很好。考虑到柏林目前的形势，我预计莱比锡会以微弱优势获胜。

联合柏林将处理Becker, Hubner, Kruse, Pohjanpalo, Promel和Ujah的伤病。柏林队50%的进球都是这些人打进的，他们的缺席将会带来不同的结果。在曼联的32粒进球中，只有12粒来自客场。到目前为止，费舍尔的球队已经进了20个球，其中9个是客场进球。联合柏林队只在客场输给了柏林赫塔队，比赛以3:1结束。这支球队上个赛季已经输给莱比锡1-3和0-4。
