On September 14, 2024, at 16:30, the third match of the 2024-25 Bundesliga will take place at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig between RB Leipzig and Union Berlin.

RB Leipzig, coached by Marco Rose, have shown impressive form since the start of the season. The team confidently started the campaign with a 4:1 victory in the German Cup against Rot-Weiß Essen. Then, Leipzig dealt with a tough opponent, Bochum, winning 1:0 thanks to a goal from newcomer Antonio Nussa. But the real success was the end of Bayer's unbeaten streak, when the Red Bulls, losing 0:2, made a comeback, winning 3:2 thanks to a brace from Lois Openda and a goal from Kevin Kampl. This comeback win not only strengthened Leipzig's position among the league leaders, but also extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches since 24 February 2024.

Union Berlin have also made a successful start to the new season. Bo Svensson's team is unbeaten so far, consistently scoring one goal in every match. The Berliners started with a 1-0 win in the cup against amateur club Greifswald. In the league, they started with a 1-1 draw against Mainz, after which they confidently beat Bundesliga newcomer St. Pauli 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Benedikt Hollerbach. Svensson has successfully adapted the team, maintaining a solid defense and consistently achieving results.

The match promises to be tense, as both teams are in excellent form and are looking to extend their successful streaks. RB Leipzig will be looking for a home win to stay at the top of the table, while Union will be looking to put up a fight and continue their strong start to the season.
