Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Borussia-Park will host Saturday’s football game between Borussia M’gladbach and Union Berlin, the two teams who sit in the danger zone. Die Fohlen aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Union Berlin. Julian Weigl is banned for the match, while all Jonas Omlin, Franck Honorat, Jordan Siebatcheu, Grant-Leon Ranos, Tony Jantschke, Christoph Kramer, and Manu Kone are sidelined with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches and given their poor defensive display in a 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich, we believe that there is a big value in betting on M’gladbach, who produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Both Jerome Roussillon and Jakob Busk are sidelined with injuries for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Jonas Hofmann):
Jonas Hofmann is a German football player, who was born in Heidelberg on 14 July, 1992. Hofmann is a right winger who is capable of playing as both left winger and an attacking midfielder as well. He played for Hoffenheim II before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2011 and it has to be noted that he made 71 appearances for the reserve team between 2011 and 2014.
Hofmann made his Bundesliga debut against Hoffenheim on 16 December, 2012. He came as a substitute in the dying minutes of the match. After making 38 appearances for BVB, the German footballer signed a four-year deal with Borussia M’gladbach on 29 December, 2015. His contract with the club expires in 2020. Jonas Hofmann played five games for Germany U18 and he has 10 caps for Germany U21.
You should have in mind that he won two Bundesliga trophies with Borussia Dortmund (2010/2011, 2011/2012), while clinching the German Cup title in 2012 with the Millionaires as well. His was part of the Borussia Dortmund team that faced Bayern Munich in the 2012/2013 Champions League final.
Highlighted Team (Union Berlin):
Union Berlin are a German football club originally founded back in 1906. Die Eisernen play home games at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei which can hold up to 22,012 spectators. Union Berlin’s home kit is red, with the team wearing white shirts and white shorts on the travels.
Union Berlin finished the 1923 domestic campaign as runners-up, with the team suffering a 3-0 loss to Hamburger SV in the title game. Speaking of the club’s biggest success in the German Cup, die Eisernen made it to the final of the competition in the 2000/2001 season. Schalke, though, proved to be a big catch for Union Berlin in the decider, with Jorg Bohme scoring a brace for die Knappen (2-0).
Union Berlin will face their local rivals Hertha in the 2019/2020 Bundesliga season as they secured promotion to the German top flight, but Hansa Rostock are considered the club’s main rivals.
