Command Analysis

Union Berlin

Union Berlin defeated Maccabi Haifa (1:0) in the last round of the Conference League and regained the opportunity to progress to the knockouts. After five games, Urs Fischer's charges have 6 points in the asset and sit in 3rd position in the group table, one point behind their current opponent. The Iron Ones are quite successful in the Bundesliga (6th place in the table), and in general they look confident in home fixtures.

Slavia Prague

Slavia Prague are leading the Czech First League standings after 17 rounds. Jindřich Trpišovský's men are on a winning streak of 9 games across all tournaments, and a draw in Berlin would be enough for them to secure the second knockouts berth. In the last round, Slavia shared points with the formidable Feyenoord (2:2) at home and retained the 2nd line in the group table.

Union will try to net an early goal and force the opponents to go forward and make mistakes on the defensive.
