Borussia Dortmund will travel to Union Berlin in their next Bundesliga game, hoping for a good response after their humiliating loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen. Union Berlin are fourth in the league standings with 34 points while Dortmund head to the game placed second with 43 points. For the hosts, maintaining their hold on the top four will be a key target in this game and they too, will be hoping for a return to winning ways. A five-match unbeaten run in the league for Union Berlin was cut short in a 2-0 away loss to Augsburg in the last game, making it the first time in five matches that they failed to score. Three times in the last five league matches Union Berlin have scored twice and the three of the matches have ended in over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in three of Union Berlin’s last five matches.

Borussia Dortmund’s first match without the injured Erling Haaland ended in disappointing fashion, a 5-2 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen. It is not going to be an easy outing here after losing to third placed Leverkusen, as Union Berlin are also holding on top four ambitions. The loss in their last game saw Dortmund drop to nine points behind Bayern Munich and it will be an uphill task for them in terms of catching up. The biggest issue for Dortmund isn’t even the gap, it is the defence that can be so calamitous at some point. They have no clean sheet in the last six matches and have conceded 15 times in the process, an average of three goals per game. In the Bundesliga, each of their last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals and it has been the same away from home in four of the last five league games. They have scored three in three of their last five away league matches but have conceded twice in each of the last three away league matches.
