RB Leipzig<\/a> welcome Union Berlin<\/a> in a match that pits one of the Bundesliga<\/a>\u2019s sharpest attacks against a side struggling for fluency in front of goal. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts sit comfortably in the Champions League spots and have dominated the stat sheets all season, while Union Berlin are still looking for consistency\u2014and a way to halt a worrying run of results. Kick-off is at 19:30 on Friday 24 April, and fans will be eager to see if Union can upset the odds on the road once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on the gulf in attacking quality and seasonal trends, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re especially confident in RB Leipzig’s attacking output, but also see value in goal markets and the risk of a one-sided contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Over 3.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing over 3.5 goals because RB Leipzig games average nearly 3.2 goals per match, and their attacking stats (59 goals, 476 shots) suggest they’ll keep pushing the tempo. Union have defensive weaknesses\u2014conceding 52 already\u2014and Leipzig’s big chance creation points to a high-scoring affair, especially with both teams missing more than they convert.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: No<\/strong><\/td>\n2.08 @ Matchbook<\/a>
(48.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe’re backing ‘No’ because Union Berlin average only 1.13 goals per game and struggle for possession and shot accuracy (31%). Leipzig\u2019s defence is robust at home, and several recent head-to-heads have featured shutouts. There\u2019s a solid chance only one side finds the net.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    RB Leipzig have been among the league\u2019s most consistent outfits, boasting a 60% win rate and the Bundesliga\u2019s third-best attack. Union Berlin, by contrast, have spent much of the campaign in the lower mid-table, hampered by a leaky defence and a blunt frontline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
