Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin

Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin are set to square off at Signal Iduna Park in an exciting Bundesliga clash.

Borussia Dortmund failed to bounce back from a 2-0 loss at PSG in their opening Champions League Group F fixture as they shared the spoils with AC Milan in a dull 0-0 home draw in midweek European action. If it’s any consolation, that result made it three consecutive unbeaten matches in all competitions (W2, D1). Dortmund’s stellar undefeated home streak stands at a jaw-dropping 18 games (W15, D3) after a narrow 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg last time out. A 2-1 triumph over Union Berlin in this corresponding fixture in 2022/23 forms part of that run. In fact, Edin Terzic’s men have won all four top-flight H2Hs at Signal Iduna Park by a combined score of 13-3, notably netting 2+ goals on each occasion.

Meanwhile, Union Berlin’s agonizing crisis continued in midweek Champions League action as they wasted a 2-0 lead in a gut-wrenching 3-2 home defeat to Sporting Braga, extending their dreadful losing run to six matches. Only last weekend, ‘Die Eisernen’ slumped to a dismal 1-0 loss at Bundesliga debutants Heidenheim, meaning they’ve failed to get on the scoresheet in three of their four most recent league outings. Although the visitors deserve the benefit of the doubt following their historic exploits in 2022/23, their chances of defying a six-game losing record at Dortmund look far-fetched. They’ve suffered four defeats on their last five Bundesliga travels (W1), scoring under 1.5 goals in three of those four losses.
