1. FC Union are still undefeated at An der Alten Försterei this season. With a home win against Dortmund, they could even overtake Borussia in the standings. But the BVB has a favorable wind.
A look at the record shows that Borussia Dortmund is generally a difficult opponent for the Union: in twelve meetings, the Köpenickers won only three times, and BVB ultimately celebrated nine times. But the Dortmund team has rarely traveled to Berlin with as much favorable wind as right now. With a 7-1 victory over Glasgow during the week, coach Nuris Sahin’s side secured the biggest Champions League victory in the club’s history.
Union Berlin defense awaits stress test against Borussia Dortmund
With a home victory against Dortmund, Union Berlin could overtake BVB in the standings on Saturday (3:30 p.m.). Borussia travel to Berlin with the wind at their backs, but their hosts’ stable defense gives them hope.
But Berliners should not hide in the An der Alten Försterei stadium. Not only because they have won their two home games so far this season, but above all because they have one of the strongest defenses in the league on the field. The Union has only conceded three goals over the five days, only RB Leipzig has allowed fewer goals so far (2). They won’t make it any easier for the inspired Dortmund side, who will also have to do without their three-time Champions League goalscorer, Karim Adeyemi.
Die Starting compositions
1. FC Union Berlin: Rönnow – Doekhi, Vogt, Diogo Leite – Trimmel, Kemlein, Khedira, Rothe – Jeong, Vertessen – Hollerbach
