RB Leipzig welcome Union Berlin to the Red Bull Arena on Friday evening for a crucial Bundesliga encounter on matchday 31. The hosts sit fourth in the table and will be looking to strengthen their European qualification hopes against 11th-placed Union Berlin.

Leipzig enter this fixture in commanding form, collecting 12 points from their last five matches with four victories. Union Berlin have struggled for consistency recently, managing just four points and one win over the same period. The goal averages tell a similar story, with Leipzig averaging 1.90 scored and 1.20 conceded per game this season compared to Union's 1.10 scored and 1.70 conceded. Interestingly, Union Berlin hold the historical advantage with five wins in the last 10 meetings between these sides, compared to Leipzig's three victories and two draws.

Despite Union Berlin's superior head-to-head record, Leipzig's current form and league position make them strong favourites at odds of 1.30. The gap in class and recent performances suggests the hosts should secure all three points against struggling visitors. Please gamble responsibly.
