Borussia Monchengladbach vs Union: Bundesliga Match Preview and Prediction
In the fifth round of the Bundesliga, Borussia faces a challenging test with a match against Union Berlin. The home team has not triumphed over the Berlin side since 2020, with the unbeaten streak stretching to eight games. Will Union secure yet another victory today? The answer lies in our prediction. What bets should you consider?
Command Analysis
Borussia Moenchengladbach
GermanyCurrent Form
Borussia has secured just one victory in the last four matches, where a win was expected against Bochum (2-0). However, they failed to earn any points against stronger opponents like Bayer, Stuttgart, and Eintracht. In these encounters, the team under Gerardo Seoane displayed attractive football only in brief spells, managing to score twice against Bayer. As the fifth round approaches, Borussia finds itself in a disappointing 14th place on the league table.
Injuries and Suspensions
Today, they will be without Omlyn, Onora, Olshovski, and Borges due to injuries.
Interesting Betting Trends
- In seven of their last ten Bundesliga matches, Borussia conceded at least two goals
- Borussia has not won in their last seven home league games
Projected Line-up: Nicolas – Scally, Elvedi, Itakura, Netz – Reitz, Weigl – Hack, Stoger, Plea – Kleindienst.
Union Berlin
GermanyCurrent Form
Union currently holds a commendable sixth place after four rounds, clearly aiming to assert their claims for a European competition spot. The Berlin team remains unbeaten with two wins and two draws. The foundation of Bo Svensson's squad's success is their solid defensive play, having conceded only two goals, a statistic matched only by Leipzig. Moreover, Union players are creating offensive opportunities and converting them effectively. In the latest round, they secured a 2-1 victory at home against Hoffenheim.
Injuries and Suspensions
Yuranovich and Stein are currently injured.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Union has scored in six of their last seven league matches
- Union is unbeaten against Borussia in their last eight direct encounters
Probable Lineup: Rennow – Duki, Vogt, Leite – Haberer, Schaefer, Khedira, Querfeld – Hallerbach, Yen, Sibacho.

6.50Tip and bets
In our opinion, the bookmakers are overestimating the hosts in this matchup. It's not just that Borussia hasn't won against their upcoming opponent in the last eight head-to-head encounters. The real issue lies in Union's defensive style and pressing tactics, coupled with sharp counterattacks, which make them a challenging opponent. The Berlin team has not lost in their last four matches, and it's unlikely that the current Borussia side can end this streak.
Our prediction is that Union will not lose, with odds of 1.74.
Total Bet
When considering a total bet, we focus on the visiting team and their pragmatic style of soccer. Notably, in the last five matches involving Union, there have been no more than two goals scored in four of them during the Cup.
Our second bet is under 2.5 total goals with odds of 2.05.
First Half Bet
Union does not rush their play, and in three of their last five matches, the first half ended in a score of 0-0, a scenario we might see unfold again today.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half with odds of 2.33.
