Dortmund vs Union Berlin Prediction & Tips
After conceding two goals in the last five minutes to draw 3-3 against St. Pauli last weekend, Dortmund dropped points in their league opener for the first time in 11 years. There is no reason to panic yet, as Niko Kovač’s side are unbeaten in nine Bundesliga games (W7, D2) and have further strengthened their squad with the permanent signing of Carney Chukwuemeka, following his loan spell from Chelsea. The Black and Yellows also ended last season with four consecutive home wins, including clean sheets in the last two, so there is excitement surrounding their return to Signal Iduna Park.
Union Berlin defeated Stuttgart 2-1 in their league opener and boast an impressive record of just one defeat in their last 11 Bundesliga matches (W5, D5). That run includes five away games (W3, D2), and if they can avoid defeat on Sunday, Steffan Baumgart’s side will equal their all-time record of six consecutive away games without defeat in the top flight. However, despite that positive run of 11 games, Union has managed just two clean sheets in that period, the last time letting a new clean sheet slip away after conceding a late goal to Stuttgart.
