Prediction: 2-0
St Gilloise
Following a boring goalless draw with Koln in Bundesliga, Union Berlin will be looking to return to winning ways when they face St Gilloise at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. The capital club are enjoying a very successful season, and their displays in the double-header with Ajax are surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. All Roussillon, Schafer, and Giesselmann remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Jupiler League outfit, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Eupen, but they face an uphill task against Union Berlin, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. When the two teams met in the group stages in November 2022 Union Berlin defeated St Gilloise thanks to Michel’s goal, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. As for the away team, Teddy Teuma has joined Eckert Ayensa in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Rani Khedira):
Just like his brother Sami, Rani Khedira started his senior career at Stuttgart. The midfielder made 56 league appearances for Stuttgart II, while playing nine matches for the first team. In 2014 he joined Leipzig and he has been playing for Die Bullen ever since.
Rani Khedira was born on 27 January, 1994 in Stuttgart and he has 2 caps for Germany U19 team. The Leipzig midfielder represented Germany U17 at the 2011 FIFA World Cup. Khedira played 15 matches for Leipzig in the 2015/2016 2. Bundesliga campaign and he certainly helped the team secure promotion to the German elite division. He is a central midfielder, but he plays as a defensive midfielder as well.
Khedira has a contract with Leipzig which expires on 30 June, 2017. His highest market value was €1,300,000 on 13 January, 2015. Rani Khedira was born in Germany, but his father is Tunisian. He is a right-footed footballer.
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.
