Union Berlin-Leipzig, the probable formations

Among the most anticipated matches on Saturday, Feb. 1, the challenge between Union Berlin and Leipzig stands out, valid for the 20th day of the Bundesliga, with kickoff at 6:30 pm. Leipzig is off to a strong start thanks to a more’competitive roster and superior seasonal performance.

Complicated season for the’Union Berlin, which is struggling in the lower reaches of the standings. Steffen Baumgart’s team had started the league with good performances, but a series of negative results between December and January compromised the path, causing the club to slide to 14th place with 20 points, six more than the relegation zone. 

Leipzig is also going through a complicated moment: just back from a 1-0 defeat against Sturm Graz in the Champions League, Marco Rose’s team has only one win in its last five Bundesliga matches and struggles to impose itself on the road. In the standings, the Roten Bullen occupy the fifth position with 32 points.

Union Berlin (3-5-2): Ronnow; Doekhi, Vogt, Leite; Juranovic, Haberer, Khedira, Kemlein, Skov; Jordan, Hollerbach. Coach: Baumgart

Lipsia (3-4-2-1): Gulacsi; Klosterman, Orban, Bitschiabu; Baku, Vermeeren, Haidara, Raum; Xavi Simons, Sesko; Openda. Coach: Rose
