For Union Berlin, the season has just begun. The team was able to go through the first round of the German Cup, having managed to beat Turkguchu Munich away (0-1). In the Bundesliga, the Iron Ones started with a home draw against Bayer (1-1). The result is positive, given the great advantage of the opponent during the match. The very fact of getting into European cups for the Berlin club is a big event, because it returned to the elite of German football not so long ago.
KuPS is on a roll and is ready to offer battle even to the representative of the Bundesliga. The Berliners are probably planning to play in a group, so they will take the upcoming game seriously. Despite all the successes, the class of the Canaries is not high, and Union Berlin must show its superiority over the opponent in the away match. We bet on the victory of the visitors with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Union Berlin to win with -1.0 handicap
