Dortmund vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
Borussia Dortmund and FC Union Berlin face each other on Saturday afternoon. Can Erling Haaland again impress with goals, or can the capitals restrain the young Noor?
Borussia Dortmund:
Borussia Dortmund has so far a goal point 2020. This is largely due to newcomer Erling Haaland. The striker, coming from RB Salzburg, impressed with a hat trick (3-5) in his debut against FC Augsburg. Last week he was again accurate as a substitute. With a Doppelpack, Haaland contributed to the comfortable 5-1 home win that Der BVB managed to book at 1. FC Köln. The team of coach Lucien Favre is currently the number four in the ranking.
“FC Union is hard to play for every opponent,” Favre said during the weekly press moment. “They are physically strong and well organized.” Dortmund experienced this in the first match against the second club from Berlin. In August, the club from Westphalia visited Union with a surprising 3-1 defeat. Favre has a few things to choose for the match, as only Thomas Delaney is in the rag basket. Haaland could start in the base, although Favre seems to want to calm down his young goalgetter for the time being.
FC Union Berlin:
Also in the new year, PhD student FC Union Berlin continues to grab his points. In the home match against FC Augsburg, Die Eisernen struck. Defender Neven Subotic, who by the way has a history with Borussia Dortmund, put Union on the right track shortly after the break. Marcus Ingvartsen took care of the 2-0 final score. It was the seventh time this season that Union Berlin took full advantage in the Bundesliga. With 23 points from nineteen games, the capitals are well on course for enforcement for the time being.
Earlier this season, Union was too strong for Dortmund in its own stadium. The team of coach Urs Fischer also played a second time against the club from Westphalia. In October, Union made it very difficult for Dortmund in the DFB Pokal. After ninety minutes there was then a 2-2 score on the scoreboard. A goal from Dortmud in the absolute final phase of the award prevented a penalty series (3-2, n.v.). Fischer and his team have shown that they have the capacity to make it difficult for Borussia.
