In their last match Union Berlin enforced their superiority over Darmstadt 98 with a 4-1 away win.  During that encounter they had 26% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 20 shots on goal.  

It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 15 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Urs Fischer will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 9 goals in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They have not lost at home for an impressive 24 games in a row.  

On an individual basis, Kevin Behrens will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The Stadion An der Alten Försterei having scored 6 goals in Union Berlin's last 6 home games in the league.

Last time out, RB Leipzig recorded an impressive 5-1 home win against Stuttgart.  They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 11 hitting the target, up against Stuttgart's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

Marco Rose will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 17 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 8 goals during those same matches.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They have certainly enjoyed a good run of late, having won 5 of their past 6 matches.
