Team Form and Analysis:
Borussia Dortmund enters this match after a frustrating 3-3 draw in their season opener. While they showed great attacking quality, scoring three goals, their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed, as they squandered a 3-1 lead. The home side will be looking to get their first win of the season and maintain their impressive home record against Union Berlin.
Union Berlin, meanwhile, has been in excellent form, winning their season opener 2-1 against VfB Stuttgart. They have shown a tough, defensive structure and a clinical attacking side. The visiting team will be looking to continue their positive start to the season and secure a historic first away victory against Borussia Dortmund.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two clubs is heavily in favor of Borussia Dortmund, who have won all six of their previous home games against Union in the Bundesliga. However, the first goal is always crucial in this fixture, as the team that scores first has always won the match. The last time these two sides met at the Signal Iduna Park, Borussia Dortmund secured a dominant 6-0 victory in February 2025.
Player to Watch:
Borussia Dortmund: All eyes will be on their striker Serhou Guirassy, who has been in sensational form. He scored four goals in their last encounter against Union and will be a key threat to their defense.
Union Berlin: The focus for Union Berlin will be on their new signing, Ilyas Ansah, who scored twice on his Bundesliga debut. His goal-scoring ability and pace will be a major threat to Borussia Dortmund’s defense.
Prediction:
Given Borussia Dortmund’s impressive home record against Union Berlin and their attacking firepower, they are the clear favorites to win this match. While Union Berlin will be motivated to secure their first away victory against Dortmund, the home side’s quality is likely to be the deciding factor. A high-scoring home victory for Borussia Dortmund seems like a plausible outcome.
