RB Leipzig vs FC Union Berlin Competition – German Bundesliga Stadium: Red Bull Arena Date: 24th April 2026 Kick-off time – 19:30 GMT
Friday evening at the Red Bull Arena, and RB Leipzig host FC Union Berlin in a Bundesliga fixture that looks, on paper, like a meeting of a side in full flight and one fighting for their season’s direction. Leipzig sit third in the table on 59 points — five behind Dortmund in second and twenty behind leaders Bayern — with Champions League qualification for next season almost certain but the specific finishing position still to be resolved. Union Berlin, in eleventh on 32 points, arrive in difficult domestic form but eight clear of the relegation zone, meaning survival is all but mathematically secured with eight games to play.
Leipzig’s form heading into this one is nothing short of exceptional. Their most recent outing was a commanding 3–1 win away at Eintracht Frankfurt — a controlled away performance against a difficult opponent. Prior to that, a 1–0 home win over Mönchengladbach demonstrated the defensive discipline that has underpinned their push for the top three. Before that, a 2–1 victory away at Werder Bremen added another three points on the road. Earlier in this run, a 5–0 home destruction of Hoffenheim was one of the most clinical performances seen at the Red Bull Arena this season. The one blemish — a 1–0 defeat away at Stuttgart — sits at the bottom of this sequence and feels like a distant outlier. Four wins from five is the form of a side operating with genuine confidence and purpose.
Union Berlin, by contrast, have found recent weeks thoroughly punishing. Their most recent outing ended in a 2–1 home defeat to Wolfsburg — a result that continued a concerning domestic slump. Prior to that, a 3–1 away defeat at Heidenheim was a result that will have rattled the confidence in the camp. Before that, a 1–1 home draw with St. Pauli yielded only a point in a game Union would have expected to win. Earlier in this run, a 4–0 away defeat to Bayern — difficult but unsurprising — and a 1–0 away win at Freiburg complete the sequence. One win, one draw and three defeats from five is a form line that tells the story of a club treading water rather than pushing for anything meaningful.
The head-to-head record is evenly contested, with Leipzig winning two of the last five meetings, Union claiming one, and two draws separating them. Most recently, Union won 3–1 at home in December 2025 — a result that will give them cause for belief despite current form. In the previous encounter, the sides drew 0–0 at Union’s ground in February 2025.
A Leipzig win tonight takes them to 62 points — two behind Dortmund and well placed to consolidate third. A Union win would move them to 35 points, above Mainz in tenth, though the gap to relegation safety is already comfortable enough to take the edge off the urgency.
