Bumblebees sensationally lost to Buda Glimta in the Champions League the day before, before that they lost points in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart. Will Niko Kovac's men be able to start a new winning streak today? We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the betting tip of the site's expert and choose your confident bets on the game
Command Analysis
Union Berlin
Current form
Union is having a weak start in the Bundesliga. The Berliners went four rounds without a win, scored only one point, having drawn with Eintracht (3:3). The pause for the national team matches clearly benefited the team. Immediately after the break, Mauro Lustrinelli's team defeated Elversberg with a minimum score of 1-0. Lebanon Burju scored the only goal in that meeting at the very end. Union had less possession of the ball in that meeting, but at the same time threatened the opponent's goal more often, the players scored 19 shots on goal (six of them on target) and won a well-deserved victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
Margrave and Ilich are in the infirmary. Latte-Lat, Nsoki and Yuranovich are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In four consecutive matches, Union has not lost on yellow cards.
In the previous five matches involving Union, the referees recorded more than three offsides
Approximate line–up: Rennov – Haberer, Van den Bosch, Uduohai, Rote - Ebisher, Schaefer, Khedira, Imeri – Chon, Skarke.
Borussia Dortmund
Current form
Borussia made a strong start in the Bundesliga, did not lose a single point in four rounds and took the lead. However, in the fifth round, there was an unexpected misfire in the home game against Werder Bremen (2-2). All the main events in that meeting unfolded at the very end, when Dortmund led 2-0, but managed to concede two goals in 88 and 92 minutes. By the start of the sixth round, bumblebees are on the second line in the table, inferior to Freiburg in additional indicators. Niko Kovac's men played poorly in the Champions League last week, suffering a sensational defeat away from Buda Glimta with a minimum score of 0:1. Today there is a chance to rehabilitate yourself for recent failures, as you will have to play against a comfortable opponent: in the previous three face-to-face meetings, Borussia won with a total score of 12:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured list includes Jan, Constantelias, and Lerma.
Interesting betting trends
In three consecutive matches with Borussia, a draw with an accurate score of 0:0 was recorded at the end of the first half.
In four of the last five matches, Borussia has not lost on yellow cards.
Approximate composition: Male – Gadu, Anton, Schlotterbeck – Ruerson, Bellingham, Nmecha, Svensson – Nvaneri, Girassi, Bayer.
Union has a weak start, has only one victory in the Bundesliga, having barely beaten the modest Elversberg. Borussia has two unsuccessful matches under its belt. With Werder, Dortmund missed the victory at the very end, conceding two goals in just five minutes. Undoubtedly, the guests today will be extremely motivated to rehabilitate themselves for that failure and for an unsuccessful match in the Champions League. In the previous three head-to-head matches, the Bumblebees beat Union with a total score of 12:0. We expect that today, due to a tangible advantage in attack, Niko Kovac's team will once again confidently outplay a convenient opponent.
Our betting tip is for Borussia to win with an Asian handicap (-1) by a factor of 1.96
Borussia have scored 11 goals in five rounds in the Bundesliga, and Niko Kovac's team has no problems attacking. Union has long since lost its reliable defensive game, which used to be the hallmark of Berliners. We believe that the guests will be able to hit the opponent's goal at least twice today, as they did in the three previous face-to-face matches.
The second bet is Borussia's individual goal total of more than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.55
Betting on corners
Union plays second in most matches, and in the corners, respectively, it does not impress with its high performance. In four of the previous five matches, the Berliners were inferior to their rivals in the corners. We do not see any prerequisites for the fact that today the hosts will be able to surprise Borussia with something in this indicator.
Betting Tip – Borussia victory on corners with a handicap (-1.5) with a coefficient of 1.78
