Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig

This is the 17th meeting between 1. FC Union Berlin and RB Leipzig at the professional level. FCU are without a win and a goal (D1, L2) in the last three Bundesliga clashes and lost 3-0 at home last season. Union have only conceded more top-flight goals at home against FC Bayern München (14) than versus RB Leipzig (10).

1. FC Union Berlin have only won one of their last 12 Bundesliga games (D3, L8) and their return of 20 points from 19 games is their second worst in the top flight (17 points in 2023/24). Since the start of matchday 8, only 1. FC Heidenheim have picked up fewer points (5) than Union (6).

With 32 points from 19 games, this is RB Leipzig’s third-worst Bundesliga campaign, having only been worse off at this stage in 2021/22 (28 points) and 2017/18 (31). This is also their worst ever defensive record at this point of a Bundesliga season with 29 goals conceded.

RB Leipzig have only won one of their last five Bundesliga games (4-2 vs. Werder) and are winless in three matches since that triumph over Bremen (D2, L1). A fourth match without victory would equal their negative club record in the top flight (most recently in November). RBL have conceded at least two goals in five consecutive top-flight games for the first time in their history.

1. FC Union Berlin have scored a league-low 16 goals in the Bundesliga this season, failing to find the back of the net in eight games – only St. Pauli have drawn a blank more often (10 times). Opponents RB Leipzig have scored 10 goals in 2025, a tally only topped by FC Bayern (11).
