Union Berlin will look to finish the weekend on top of the Bundesliga when they play Borussia Monchengladbach on Sunday.

Union Berlin remains top of the Bundesliga table despite suffering only their second league defeat of the season at VfL Bochum last weekend. In the Europa League, Die Eisernen won 1-0 over Braga to move two points ahead of their Portuguese opponents in Group D.

Meanwhile, Gladbach was defeated 3-1 at home by Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend, with the visitors rushing into a three-goal lead before halftime. They are currently 10th in the standings.

Team News

Union Berlin will most certainly be without Sven Michel and Kevin Mohwald, but Fischer should have a completely healthy squad to choose from.

After coming off the bench in the win over Braga on Thursday, Paul Jaeckel and Andras Schafer could return to the starting XI, with Danilho Doekhi and Morten Thorsby potentially making way as their manager attempts to shake things up.

Yann Sommer, Ko Itakura, Mamadou Doucoure, Stefan Lainer, Florian Neuhaus, Hannes Wolf, Torben Musel, and Jonas Hofmann are just a few the injured players on Gladbach’s lengthy injury list who are not expected to travel to Berlin.

Kouadio Kone is also suspended after receiving his fifth booking of the season in last weekend’s loss to Frankfurt, which means Christoph Kramer will almost probably drop deeper alongside Julian Weigl in midfield, with Patrick Herrmann and Nathan Ngoumou vying for a spot in attack.

Prediction

Union Berlin 2-0 Borussia Monchengladbach

Gladbach’s chances of a favourable outcome in Berlin are increased by their opponents’ participation in Europe on Thursday, although the hosts are expected to win by a narrow margin.

Despite dominating possession, Farke’s team struggled to create chances against Frankfurt last time out, and Union Berlin are a far more formidable defensive outfit to overcome.
