Union Berlin returned to winning ways in their last match, handing Arminia Bielefeld a 1-0 defeat and will hope to continue in the same way when they host Maccabi Haifa in the Group E game in the Europa Conference League. The hosts are in search of their first points after a 3-1 away loss to Slavia Prague on Match Day 1, while Maccabi Haifa have a point from the 0-0 draw with Feyenoord. The win over Arminia Bielefeld was Union Berlin’s second in the last five matches and also the second clean sheet in that run but three of the five have produced over 2.5 goals. At home, they are unbeaten in the last 15 matches, with seven wins, and they go to this game with three clean sheets in the last four home games. Both teams have scored in seven of Union Berlin’s last 10 home matches.

Maccabi Haifa are also coming from a win after a run of three winless outings. They claimed a 2-0 win over Maccabi Petah Tikva in their domestic league ahead of this game and will be gunning for the same in Germany. Omer Atzili will shoulder the most responsibility in attack, after scoring three in the last five matches and with just one loss in their last nine matches, they’ll be confident. However, with just two clean sheets in the last five matches, defence is an area they’ll want to address. Maccabi Haifa have failed to score in just one of their last nine matches but they are without a win in the last four away games. They have two losses in the four away games and failed to score in two. In the last 10 away matches, they have one clean sheet and only two wins.
