Tip and bets
Union likes to play aggressively at home matches, The Iron Ones surely won't be afraid of Leipzig, especially since the Bulls are not in the best form now. It will be hard for the visitors to keep a clean sheet, but Union's defensive line is also far from perfect in the current season, so we are expecting to see many goals in this match.
Our prediction - total over 2.5 goals
The Iron Ones are too inconsistent now, but no one expected big results from the team - Union approaches the mid-season in the European competitions zone and it is already a great achievement for them. Fischer's team is tough to beat for any opponent, Union can play on counter-attacks and can dominate the game in matches against weaker opponents. In the current season capital club lost only one home game, to Bayern, but despite a defeat team managed to put up a fight to the champion.
Leipzig are not looking too good on away matches, plus club is out of form lately, so we don't think that Bulls will be able to beat such a strong opponent. A draw in this match will be a positive result for both sides.
Our second bet will be on a draw
