There are plenty of fixtures to look forward to in the German Bundesliga this week including the meeting between Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin.
The match will be played at Signal-Iduna-Park, with the hosts beginning the week in 5th place on 49 points and the visitors in 8th place on 43 points.
Borussia Dortmund come into the game having recorded a comprehensive 4-1 victory at home over Werder Bremen on the weekend.
They fell behind after only 14 minutes of the match but produced a great response to take maximum points and remain within touching distance of the Champions League qualifying places.
The victory over Werder Bremen means Borussia Dortmund have won each of their last two Bundesliga fixtures but a loss against Manchester City at home in the Champions League was sandwiched in-between and that saw them eliminated from the competition.
Borussia Dortmund have picked up only two victories from their 6 most recent fixtures in all competitions but they are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 in the Bundesliga.
Home form shows Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in 9 of their last 11 home matches in all competitions and 7 of their last 8 in the Bundesliga.
Trends show Borussia Dortmund have scored at least one goal in each of their last 41 games in all competitions. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of their 6 most recent matches.
Union Berlin make the trip to Signal-Iduna-Park on the back of a 2-1 victory over Stuttgart. That result keeps them in with a chance of qualifying for the Europa League this season, which would be a tremendous achievement for the club.
Union Berlin are undefeated in their last 3 Bundesliga matches including draws against Hertha Berlin at home and Bayern Munich away, the latter of which was an excellent result.
Union Berlin are undefeated in 3 of their last 4 away Bundesliga games and have defeated Freiburg 1-0 plus picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at Arminia Bielefeld.
However, in their last 7 away games in all competitions, Union Berlin have a poor record of just 1 win and they suffered a heavy 5-2 loss recently at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Looking ahead to the team news and Borussia Dortmund are set to be without Axel Witsel, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Marcel Schmelzer, Youssoufa Moukoko, and Jadon Sancho due to injury. Ansgar Knauff could start the game in midfield having impressed in the Champions League against Manchester City.
Union Berlin could be without captain Christopher Trimmel, who broke his nose in training. Striker Taiwo Awoniyi is unavailable due to injury and joins Sheraldo Becker and Anthony Ujah on the treatment table. Leon Dajaku has tested positive for COVID-19 so will miss out and there are doubts over the fitness of Christopher Lenz.
Borussia Dortmund are usually entertaining to watch and we expect this match to be no different.
The hosts are sure to score goals but keeping them out at the other end could be a problem against this Union Berlin team. We could see a draw and over 2.5 goals scored.
