The German Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Union Berlin and Augsburg square off at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on Saturday.
Marco Grote’s men currently find themselves rooted to the bottom of the table and will head into the weekend looking to end their 14-game winless run.
Union Berlin failed to pull clear of the relegation zone just before the international break as they suffered a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen.
Grote’s men have now failed to win their last 14 matches across all competitions, losing 13 and claiming just one draw since a 4-1 victory over Darmstadt on August 26.
With just six points from 11 matches, Union Berlin are currently rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga table, two points away from safety.
Elsewhere, Augsburg were one of the few active sides during the international break as they picked up a comfortable 5-2 friendly victory over Regensburg on November 16.
This was in keeping with their recent resurgence in the Bundesliga, where they are unbeaten in their last four matches, picking up two wins and two draws since a 2-1 loss to Darmstadt in October.
With 13 points from 11 matches, Augsburg are currently 10th in the league table, level on points with Wolfsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach.

- With five wins from the last 14 meetings between the sides, Augsburg boast a superior record in the history of this fixture.

Union Berlin vs Augsburg Prediction
