Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin Prediction
Borussia Dortmund are currently second in the league, two points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
They have been met with criticism for not being able to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding Bayern Munich at the moment. Borussia Dortmund were the league leaders but conceded four goals and the top spot to Bayern Munich in their most recent league game.
The sale of Erling Haaland has not helped, with Borussia Dortmund not having a reliable goalscorer this season. Sebastien Haller is getting back to full fitness following a long-term absence, while the likes of Marco Reus, Anthony Modeste and Donyell Malen have chipped in but not consistently.
Union Berlin are currently third in the league, two points behind Borussia Dortmund.
Urs Fisher and his side continue to defy expectations every season, with the likes of Sheraldo Becker and Danilo Doekhi impressing this term. Union Berlin will hope that Fischer stays as manager for a long time, given how well he seems to be doing at the helm.
Borussia Dortmund will hope to get back to winning ways, although it will not be easy against an excellent Union Berlin side.
