Urs Fischer is not blinded by the winning streak against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. Union Berlin needs a particularly good day to surprise again against the Saxons.
1. FC Union Berlin wants to extend its winning streak in the Bundesliga against RB Leipzig.
After the last three 2-1 wins against the Saxons, the Irons also have the opportunity to improve their own record at the start of the season on Saturday (6.30 p.m. / Sky) in the stadium at the Alte Försterei.
INITIAL SITUATION:
Union scored four points on the first two matchdays and has been unbeaten in nine league games across the seasons. Leipzig didn’t lose four times, but started with two draws. Not enough for their own ambitions. Union has won the last three league games against Leipzig 2-1. In the cup semi-final, however, Leipzig won 2-1.
STAFF:
With the exception of defender Timo Baumgartl, who is in rehabilitation training after his testicular cancer, all players in the squad are fit at Union. Midfielder Morten Thorsby should initially sit on the bench again. Goalkeeper and captain Peter Gulacsi are missing from Leipzig due to adductor problems
QUOTE:
Coach Urs Fischer: “From my point of view, Leipzig is an absolute top team. They were able to sign Timo Werner and David Raum. We have a real task ahead of us. Leipzig didn’t have a great start. But the last game against Cologne was also not just with one man less.”
SPECIAL:
Union midfielder Rani Khedira played 54 competitive games for Leipzig between 2014 and 2017. In protest against RB as part of the empire of billionaire Dietrich Matschitz, the Union fans will very likely remain silent in this game for the first 15 minutes.
