Scoreboard Silence: RB Leipzig and FC Union Berlin Share the Points in a Goalless Clash at Leipzig Arena
The stage was set at Leipzig Arena for a clash that promised excitement but unfolded as a goalless affair. RB Leipzig and FC Union Berlin struggled to find the decisive finishing touch, resulting in a deadlock. The fixture concluded with a 0-0 draw. The result means RB Leipzig are now in third place in the table and that FC Union Berlin are eighth in the league. RB Leipzig play St. Pauli on 22 September, FC Augsburg on 28 September and Heidenheim (away) on 6 October. FC Union Berlin's next opponents are TSG Hoffenheim on 21 September, Borussia Mönchengladbach on 28 September and Borussia Dortmund (home) on 5 October.
Leipzig eager to extend 13-game unbeaten run.
After a historic win over Leverkusen, the Red Bulls take on Die Eisernen, hoping to extend a thirteen-game unbeaten run. RB Leipzig vs. FC Union Berlin kicks off at 14:30 [GMT+1] on Saturday, September 14, at the Red Bull Arena. Leipzig successfully ended Bayer Leverkusen’s 35-game domestic unbeaten run after a spirited 3-2 comeback win last time out. Jeremie Frimpong [38'] and Alejandro Grimaldo [45'] put Leverkusen ahead, but Kevin Kampl [45'+7] pulled one back before the break to ignite the comeback. However, Loïs Openda [57', 80'] was the ultimate hero, as the Belgian netted a brace in the second half to complete the memorable comeback for Leipzig. The victory ensured that Marco Rose's side remained as one of the three teams with a perfect record after two matches [2W, 0D, & 0L] in the Bundesliga alongside first-placed Heidenheim and second-placed Bayern Munich. Leipzig is third due to an inferior goal difference but will be hoping to climb further up the table after their home game against Union Berlin on Saturday. The hosts are heading into this clash with a league-best 13-match unbeaten run [9W, 4D, & 0L], last losing to Bayern in February. This fixture has never ended in a draw, with both teams winning five each. However, the Red Bulls did the double over the visitors last season after losing the previous five BL encounters against Union. Leipzig maintained their fine run over the break with a 2-1 win over ZFC Meuselwitz in a friendly game. Rose will hope Openda, who provided an assist in Belgium's 3-1 win over Israel in the Nations League, continues his fine form when he returns at the attacking end of the 3—4—2—1. Willi Orban remains suspended after picking up a red card against Bochum on the opening weekend. Union Berlin recorded their first league victory of the season with a 1-0 win against newly promoted St. Pauli thanks to Benedict Hollerbach's first-half goal [34']. Die Eisernen now have four points from two matches [1W, 1D, & 0L], while they remain one of the seven unbeaten teams in the BL in the new campaign. “We won, didn't concede a goal, and have four points after two match days. Nevertheless, there is a list of things we need to improve." Bo Svensson said after the victory on MD 2. Svensson, who took over the managerial role in the summer, is set to oversee his 100th BL game as a coach when his team travels to face Leipzig. He is expected to line up a 3—4—2—1 with Jordan Siebatcheu in attack while having a win in mind. The 28-year-old American, who is yet to score this season, will be looking to get off the mark against Leipzig.
