Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Borussia M’gladbach and Union Berlin face each other at Borussia-Park in what is expected to be an interesting Bundesliga encounter. Die Fohlen aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Christoph Kramer is a major doubt, while Ramy Bensebaini represents Tunisia at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. Jonas Hofmann remains in the recovery room, whilst Mamadou Doucoure faces race against clock to be fit for the match.
The capital club, on the other hand, did well to beat Hoffenheim at home in their last league match, but given their anything but brilliant away record, we are tempted to put our money on die Fohlen this time out. Forward Taiwo Awoniyi is on international duty, while both Rick Van Drongelen and Pawel Wszolek have been tested positive for coronavirus.

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.
