A huge match for Union Berlin will take place in the Bundesliga this weekend. Union will be looking to end a two-game winless run when they travel to Borussia Monchengladbach, as they bid to hold off competition to remain in a Champions League spot.
Bundesliga Preview
The pressure is beginning to mount on Union Berlin, and their position in the Champions League spots in the Bundesliga is beginning to tell. They come into this fixture on Sunday sitting in third, but they hold just a two-point advantage over Freiburg in the race for a top four finish. Union has gone two without a victory, and they have landed just two victories over their previous five matches in the German top-flight.
However, it has still been an incredible season for the club, as they have still amassed their highest ever points tally at this stage of a top-flight season. They could break their record for the highest points tally in a single season with a victory this weekend. But, they will need to respond after a disappointing 1-1 draw last weekend against Bochum in Berlin.
Borussia Monchengladbach still has a mathematical chance of finishing in the top six this season, but it appears incredibly unlikely based on their recent form in the Bundesliga. The German side has won just once in their previous four matches, and they have been held to three draws over that period. Even a victory on Sunday will see them remain tenth in the standings.
Gladbach’s home form has at least improved in recent weeks, as they have now gone five without defeat. That is the first time that they have managed that since the 2021-22 season. But, they will need to see out games better, as they have dropped 16 points from winning positions.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Union Berlin Head to Head
Gladbach has picked up just a single victory from their previous seven matches against Union in the Bundesliga. That success was a home win back in May 2020. Over that period, Union has recorded four victories.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Union Berlin Prediction
Gladbach are still stuttering in the Bundesliga this term, and they look an unlikely chance to finish in the top half. Union has a lot to play for this weekend, and they will be boosted by their excellent record in this fixture. Therefore, we will be siding with an away win.
