Union Berlin and Dortmund have met several times in recent years, and Dortmund have often been the side to close out games decisively, with 3-0, 6-0 and 0-3 scorelines over the past year. This time Union Berlin return home after just winning 1-0 in their latest league match, while Dortmund just lost 0-1 in European competition in midweek. Union Berlin have come through a bad spell by winning two in a row, especially the latest match where they kept a clean sheet in the league, but before that they were conceding goals freely in several straight games. Their defence is still not entirely steady. Dortmund, meanwhile, remain the team that touches the ball more and creates chances consistently, even though their latest league match ended in a 2-2 share of the points and they just stumbled in Europe. The pattern of play is likely to see Dortmund controlling more of the ball and pushing the game forward, while Union Berlin sit back and wait for counter-attacking moments. The first half may still be tight because both sides have played a lot recently, but the second half is likely to open up more as both teams have to push forward, especially late on when both tend to concede.
