Command Analysis

Union Berlin

Current form
In the last round, Union met with Werder and finished the game with a disgusting result. The uncoordinated actions of the entire team and the disastrous game in defense led to a defeat - 1:4 in the end. This failure still allowed the "iron ones" to retain 12th place in the tournament table, which at this stage gives the right to remain in the elite of German football. The team extended their winless streak to nine matches in all tournaments, in which there were six defeats and three draws. The last victory was in October last year over their current opponent (2:0). We hope that the team will maintain a positive attitude, but there is room for improvement in the game. Steffan Baumgart charges are ahead of their opponents from the relegation zone by seven points.
