Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Friday’s football game between Union Berlin and St. Pauli will rase the curtain on the Bundesliga round 2. The capital club kicked off the new domestic campaign with a 1-1 draw with Mainz, but they are surely capable of beating the newcomers at their Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. Kevin Vogt has joined the likes of Kevin Volland, Ivan Prtajin, Yannic Stein, and Josip Juranovic in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
St. Pauli, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Heidenheim, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts this time out. Oladapo Afolayan is widely expected to return to the starting eleven, while the likes of Soren Ahlers, Sascha Burchert, and Simon Zoller remain on the sidelines with injuries for the away team.
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.
