This could be an interesting match as Union Berlin have their presumed home advantage while Borussia M'gladbach are ahead 3 points in the Bundesliga table.
- Union Berlin have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Borussia M'gladbach has the most dropped points from leading position (18) in Bundesliga
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Union Berlin form and stats
Overall Bundesliga stats at home this season for Union Berlin are 4-4-1 (wins-draw-losses).
Berlin faced defeat in their previous match, away at Augsburg (1-2). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting RB Leipzig (0-1).
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Marcus Ingvartsen for missing a penalty kick versus Augsburg in the 56th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (20 in 9 games), Berlin's attacking play is working. 11 goals have been conceded.
Borussia M'gladbach form and stats
3-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Borussia M'gladbach in their Bundesliga matches away.
Ramy Bensebaini, Marcus Thuram and Nico Elvedi (2) scored in Borussia M'gladbach's previous match, the home game against Borussia Dortmund that ended 4-2. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Werder Bremen.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for M'gladbach, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Borussia M'gladbach manager M. Rose as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Stuttgart.
M'gladbach have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 17 goals from 8 away matches. The M'gladbach manager M. Rose has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
