Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Union Berlin Form
Union Berlin have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 0-0 draw with RB Leipzig, before claiming 3 points in a 2-1 win against Hoffenheim. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Borussia Moenchengladbach. Union Berlin claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga. They also drew zero and lost three, as they scored nine and conceded 12 goals.
Borussia Dortmund go into a new season as candidates for the podium, but will count themselves lucky to achieve more than a third place.
Borussia Dortmund Form
Borussia Dortmund look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against VfB Stuttgart, they were left empty-handed in a 5-1 defeat, but they bounced back by beating Bochum in a 4-2 win. They followed that up with a 7-1 win against Celtic in their most recent outing. Borussia Dortmund won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Bundesliga. The scoreline from these matches says 13 goals conceded and six scored.
While a title race is perhaps a too optimistic a longthrow, a podium finish does not look beyong Borussia Dortmund, should they manage to catch a strong momentum.
Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, when it comes to goals. We see no reason for this trend to end here, and we expect an entertaining match once again between Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund.
Union Berlin lost just once so far this season in the Bundesliga and after five games played they recorded two wins and two draws Borussia Dortmund are looking at three wins, one draw and one defeat in the Bundesliga.
