  • A mouthwatering East German derby with the capital city side grabbing their first win under new coach Bo Svensson last time out.
  • Leipzig, 13 games without a defeat, are showing early promise for a sustained title challenge, ending Leverkusen's unbeaten with a magnificent 3-2 comeback win before the international break.
  • After conceding the first goal, Union have failed to win in their last 27 games.
  • Leipzig won both meetings last season without conceding and bouyed by their win over the champions, can get the job done on home soil.
