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

On Saturday, Union Berlin—who have made great progress—will play Borussia Dortmund in the German city in the Bundesliga on 5th October 2024 at 16:30 (GMT+3). Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin on Saturday will be aiming for another impressive attacking display after scoring 11 goals in their previous two games. Union had feared relegation following a dismal performance last season, but an incredible run of performances under Nenad Bjelica quickly allayed those fears. The home team has been performing well lately; they have only a loss in their last five matches, which is their most recent match result against Borussia Monchengladbach (1-0 loss). 

Borussia Dortmund is also with just one loss this season in the Bundesliga, having accrued 10 points so far this season to be in 5th position. Union Berlin is now in 9th place in the Bundesliga with 8 points from 5 games.

Union Berlin is getting ready for this encounter after losing to Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga.

Four of the previous five games in which Union Berlin participated had fewer than three goals scored each game. Union Berlin scored a total of four goals during this time while opposing clubs scored an aggregate of three. 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 three home league games in the Bundesliga.

Dortmund reacted well in a 5-1 loss to Stuttgart in their last away game. The Nouri Shahin-led team defeated Bochum 4-2 in their derby match on day five. Felix Nmecha and Emre Can scored twice and Serhou Guirassi scored as Dortmund secured their third league win of the season. Die Schwarzgelben produced another impressive scoring display in midweek, this time against Celtic in the Champions League, with Karim Adeyemi scoring a hat-trick. Guirasi added a brace in the 7-1 home win, while Cain and Nmecha each scored a goal.

Dortmund will now embark on their journey for the first time since that forgettable trip to Stuttgart. The visitors on Saturday are aiming to snap a four-game Bundesliga losing streak on the road. Dortmund can take solace in the fact that they have won each of their last three meetings with the Union, although that run will not inspire confidence.

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 or 1-3 win for the away side. Dortmund seldom plays dull games.
