Coach Nuri Sahin is relying on Maximilian Beier in the starting line-up again after a long time. The German U21 international may even play as a double leader with Serhou Guirassy, but could also come on the wing. Compared to the 7-1 win against Celtic, it is the only change at BVB. Beier moves into the eleven for the injured Karim Adeyemi.

With a strong defense that has only conceded three goals in five games, Union Berlin has the second-best defense in the league after RB Leipzig. Despite this defensive strength, the offense remains the weakest in the league with just four goals, which makes exploiting opportunities a crucial factor.
Borussia Dortmund travels to Berlin with a mixed away record. The black and yellow have been waiting for a win for four away games and were only able to get one point. The last away win was in April when they won 2-1 at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The last away defeat in Stuttgart in particular, in which BVB conceded five goals, shows the current weaknesses in the defense. Nevertheless, Dortmund remains offensively dangerous, led by Karim Adeyemi, who has already contributed five goals this season.

Coaching duel: Svensson against Dortmund
Union Berlin coach Bo Svensson has no good memories of encounters with Borussia Dortmund. In his previous six Bundesliga duels as coach against BVB, he remained winless and only scored an average of 0.33 points. A small ray of hope for Svensson, however, is that on matchday 34 of last season he achieved a 2-2 draw with 1. FSV Mainz against Dortmund and thus prevented Dortmund from winning the championship. This experience could give him and his team additional motivation to survive against BVB.
Top scorers in focus
Particular attention is paid to the top scorers of both teams. At Union Berlin it will be crucial to use the defensive stability to effectively exploit the few chances. On the other hand, the focus is on Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy, who has scored an impressive 42 goals in 53 games since his Bundesliga return.

Guirassy scored early in both games against Union Berlin last season to make it 1-0 and will try to continue his scoring streak this time too. Both teams will rely on their key players to make the difference in this exciting duel.
