The Miners approached the start of the season in a poor form, which was expected from a newly-promoted team. It won't be an easy season, players might need some time to find their game. Union Berlin is a solid team with great discipline. The Iron Ones are able to create problems to any opponent. In our opinion, visitors are slight favourites of the match.

Schalke managed to keep a clean sheet only in the match against Wolfsburg and even there they were fortunate not to concede.
