Union Berlin hosts Borussia Dortmund in round 13 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, December 18th at Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Berlin)
Berliners exceed expectations. After 12 rounds, Union Berlin is in sixth place, which is very good for a club that just wants to gain a foothold in the elite of German football. Now the capital team is going through a tough period, as it cannot win in four matches in a row. In some unimaginable way, the club missed the victory in the last round when it was ahead with a 2:0 score in the away match against Stuttgart. However, the Iron Ones managed to concede twice in the last five minutes of normal time, and the game ended in a 2:2 draw. The issue of maintaining a place in the elite should definitely not disturb the Berlin team this season. As many as eight players can miss the upcoming match.

The Yellow-Blacks experience obvious difficulties. Lately, the ease in the game of Borussia has disappeared, and conversion often lets the team down. Until the last round, when the Yellow-Blacks barely beat Werder Bremen (1:2), the team had a streak of three matches without victories. The team from Dortmund is ranked fourth in the championship, lagging five points behind the top three. There are no problems in the Champions League yet, and Borussia will play in the 1/8 finals against Sevilla. Five players will miss the upcoming match due to injuries, and Thorgan Hazard and Erling Halland still cannot play.
Bookmakers continue to consider Borussia their favorite in such matches, although it is clear that the Yellow-Blacks are not in optimal shape. Yes, the Berliners have not won for a long time either, but they are doing well. Let's pay attention to the goal efficiency of the teams since both clubs regularly score. In the current championship, Union Berlin has never left the field without a goal scored, and the Yellow-Blacks have had only one such case. We think that the bet on the exchange of goals scored looks quite safe.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
