Prediction published on 18/09/2023, 14:36  by Kennedy Kechula in Champions League Predictions

Union Berlin will make their Champions League debut on Wednesday and will be away to Real Madrid. The two teams will compete in Group C alongside Napoli and Braga. Real Madrid will target to have their 100% start to the season remain intact when they play host to the German side. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have won all four of their league matches and sit top in La Liga with a two-point cushion. Jude Bellingham, acquired from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has been a revelation and has led this charge. The England international has scored five goals for his new club and leads the scoring charts in Spain. Los Blancos have however not been dominant in their victories and have had to dig deep. They have had to come from behind three times and their last three matches have ended in one-goal margins. Madrid beat Real Sociedad 2-1 on Sunday.

Union Berlin have been knocking on the door for Champions League qualification and finally did it last season. They finished fourth in the Bundesliga to qualify for the first time for Europe’s premier club competition. The celebrations are now over and it is time for business. Urs Fischer’s men will undergo a baptism of fire against the record European champions. And with how they have struggled in recent outings, this can be a long night for the capital club. The Iron Ones began the season with three straight victories but have now lost their last two. They lost 2-1 away to Wolfsburg on Saturday in the league. Brenden Aaronson and Kevin Volland will be available for selection here after missing recent matches due to suspension.
