With four wins on the bounce, the Red Bulls sit third in the table, with five points separating them and fifth placed Hoffenheim who will be looking to take one of the Champions League places for the 2026/27 season.
Leipzig have regained their confidence after an inconsistent Winter period. Wins against some of Germany’s elite, including a 5-0 home win against Hoffenheim and a 3-1 away win last time out against Eintracht Frankfurt has put them in a strong position to secure Champions League football again after missing out last season for the first time in seven years.

Since the start of the year, Union have only won two of their 15 Bundesliga matches and gained 11 points, which has seen them slip to 11th in the table and five points separating them and St. Pauli in the relegation play-off position.
Eta didn’t get off to the start she would have wanted, losing 2-1 at home to Wolfsburg in her first match in charge, and a bounce back against in-form RB Leipzig may be a hard ask from her players. However, Eta will take faith in the fact Union Berlin have shown their resilience against some of Germany’s strongest sides, picking up 8 points against the league’s current top four, including wins over RB Leipzig and Stuttgart.
