Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After holding reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen to a draw at BayArena, Holstein Kiel will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Union Berlin on Matchday 7. Die Storche are determined to record their first win of the process and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the capital club. Both Max Geschwill and Carl Johansson are major doubts, while the likes of Lewis Holtby, Andu Kelati, and Colin Kleine-Bekel remain in the recovery room.
Union Berlin, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, but given their difficulties in front of goal on the travels, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Ivan Prtajin, Yannic Stein, and Josip Juranovic miss out with injuries for the visiting side, while Jordan Siebatcheu should be recalled to the starting eleven.
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.
