Union Berlin :
The 1. FC Union Berlin has not been able to preserve the strong level of the beginning of the year. After a good, if not outstanding, round of 28 points, the Iron team made an almost perfect start to the previous round with 22 of 24 possible points and even conquered the table lead in the meantime. But then it was only a point from the games at Hannover 96 (0: 2), against Erzgebirge Aue (0: 1) and Fortuna Düsseldorf (2: 2), which lost much ground. Against the 1. FC Kaiserslautern (3: 1) succeeded then again a victory, which followed however at the VfB Stuttgart a 1: 3.

After two defeats on the 20th day, the Würzburger Kickers won 2-0, but after that they were only four points in seven matches, which threatened to lead the relegation zone. With a 1: 0 victory at the Karlsruher SC, however, the FCH was able to free itself and reached the 40-point mark with a yet disappointing 2: 2 against Arminia Bielefeld. Since then they have suffered two defeats at FC St. Pauli (0: 3) and Hannover (0: 2), whose way of questioning the fact that Heidenheim will still score points this season.
Possible that coach Frank Schmidt in Berlin on three six. The return of Marcel Titsch-Rivero after the final suspension of youngsters would definitely provide the opportunity. Tim Skarke, Dominik Widemann, Kevin Kraus, and Timo Beermann are also falling apart.
Provisional lineup: Miiller – Strauss, Wittek, Election, Feick – Griesbeck, Theuerkauf, Titsch Rivero – Schnatterer, Kleindienst – Verhoek
