Watch this week's Bundesliga on the BBC: RB Leipzig host Union Berlin

Top-flight German football is being shown live on the BBC this season after rights were secured to broadcast Friday night Bundesliga matches through to 2027.

The coverage continues on Friday, 24 April when Marie-Louise Eta seeks her first win as Union Berlin head coach as her side travels to Champions League chasing RB Leipzig.

Matches will be available to watch live on the BBC Sport website, app and on BBC iPlayer every Friday, with clips of the biggest in-game moments across BBC Sport's social media channels.

RB Leipzig are in some very good form, having only lost three of their 15 Bundesliga matches in 2026. With four wins on the bounce, the Red Bulls sit third in the table, with five points separating them and fifth placed Hoffenheim who will be looking to take one of the Champions League places for the 2026/27 season.

Leipzig have regained their confidence after an inconsistent Winter period. Wins against some of Germany's elite, including a 5-0 home win against Hoffenheim and a 3-1 away win last time out against Eintracht Frankfurt has put them in a strong position to secure Champions League football again after missing out last season for the first time in seven years.

Union Berlin will be looking to new head coach Marie-Louise Eta to turn their season around, who have been in poor form since the start of the 2026. Since the start of the year, Union have only won two of their 15 Bundesliga matches and gained 11 points, which has seen them slip to 11th in the table and five points separating them and St. Pauli in the relegation play-off position.

Eta didn't get off to the start she would have wanted, losing 2-1 at home to Wolfsburg in her first match in charge, and a bounce back against in-form RB Leipzig may be a hard ask from her players. However, Eta will take faith in the fact Union Berlin have shown their resilience against some of Germany's strongest sides, picking up 8 points against the league's current top four, including wins over RB Leipzig and Stuttgart.

This match has been played out 18 times, with a near even split between the two sides. Leipzig have come away with all three points on eight occasions whereas Union Berlin have won this fixture seven times. Should Union Berlin win on Friday night, it will only be the second time they have done the league double over Leipzig, after winning 3-1 earlier in the season.
