Union Berlin take on the visitors Nurnberg at “An der Alten Försterei” in the matchday 25 of the 2. Bundesliga. The match will be played on Monday, March 20th.
After the winter break Union Berlin show great football, leaving no chances to their opponents in 2017. Union Berlin recorded 19 points in seven matches after six wins and single draw by showing concrete defense and scoring constantly two goals. Such spurt lifted Berliners to the second place in the standings with 47 points taken and 39-24 goal difference after 24 matches played and allowed them to fight for promotion to the top division. Union Berlin demonstrate impressive football at their own ground, recording 27 points with 23 goals for and 8 goals against in 12 played games. The unbeaten home streak consists of seven matches and has lasted since the 29th of October 2016.

On the contrary, Nurnberg have stuck in the middle of the standings at the ninth place with 32 points gained and negative 36-38 goal difference instead of competing for promotion to Bundesliga. Nurnberg recorded only 17 points in 12 played matches on the road including defeats in two recent away games: 0:2 vs. Munich 1860 and 0:1 vs. Greuther Furth.
Union Berlin have never beaten Nurnberg in head-to-heads, recording one draw and six defeats. I believe that it is time to break the disappointing tradition as the hosting side shows too strong football alongside with the poor form of the visiting side.
Prediction for the match: Union Berlin to win.
