Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: Expect over 2.5 goals in this game

On Saturday, Union Berlin—who have made great progress—will play Borussia Dortmund in the German city in the Bundesliga. Union had feared relegation following a dismal first half of the season under Urs Fischer, but an incredible run of performances under Nenad Bjelica quickly allayed those fears.

The home team has been performing well lately; they are without a loss in their last four matches. Their most recent match resulted in a 1-0 triumph over Hoffenheim. Borussia Dortmund, on the other side, lost for the first time in six games played and will be hoping to snap out of the loss to Hoffenheim. Berlin is now in 13th place in the Bundesliga with 24 points from 22 games, while Borussia Dortmund is fourth on the league table with 41 points. 

Union Berlin is getting ready for this encounter after losing to Heidenheim 2-2 in Bundesliga 1.

Five of the previous six games in which Union Berlin participated had fewer than three goals scored each game. Union Berlin scored a total of six goals during this time while opposing clubs scored an aggregate of five. We will shortly ascertain whether or not this pattern will continue in the game.

In their last two league games, Union Berlin has not defeated Borussia Dortmund. Union Berlin has won their last six home league games.

In this match, Borussia Dortmund will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Hoffenheim in their previous Bundesliga 1 encounter.

In their last six games, Borussia Dortmund, led by Edin Terzić, have scored ten goals in total. The total number of goals scored against them in the same games is six.

With six away league games under their belt, Borussia Dortmund is undefeated. Borussia Dortmund has lost both of their previous road league games.

We believe Borussia Dortmund is likely to win the game although the game will be played with intense pressure on both teams to win. Union is just not going to go down at home, and Dortmund has the star power to come into the capital determined to score.

For an accurate score, we're aiming for a thrilling 1-2 win for the away side. Dortmund seldom plays dull games, and this result fits in well with the fixture's all-time average of 3.8 goals scored in a game.
