FC Union Berlin and Slavia Praha get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa Conference League Group Stage fixture.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

FC Union Berlin form and stats

17 points is a decent return from 8 Bundesliga games here at Olympiastadion Berlin for FC Union Berlin. The data says 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. This match is a Europa Conference League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in this competition. Hopes of three in a row are alive for FC Union Berlin after consecutive victories at their own ground.

A nice win for FC Union Berlin last time playing, versus RB Leipzig. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Timo Baumgartl and Taiwo Awoniyi scoring for the victors. Timo Baumgartl was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.63 out of 10. The defender Baumgartl scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 7 of 11 duels.

A Bundesliga defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Eintracht Frankfurt.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how FC Union Berlin have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won seven times, drawn zero and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Berlin as they are travelling to their away game against Greuther Furth in the Bundesliga. That match is three days after this one.

FC Union Berlin have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Olympiastadion Berlin with 12 goals in 8 league matches. Berlin's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Slavia Praha form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 6 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Czech Liga. Total Europa Conference League statistics for Slavia Praha: 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Impressively, the visitors are on a six-match winning run which they hope continue versus FC Union Berlin.

The Slavia goalkeeper Ales Mandous is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 616 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Slavia play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Sigma Olomouc.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Teplice in the Czech Liga.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Mlada Boleslav in just three days.

The Slavia manager J. Trpišovský has got the team scoring on the road, with 22 away goals in 9 league matches. It's not easy to score on Slavia as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
