With the title race and the race for a European spot in the mix, Union Berlin will play host to Borussia Dortmund on the 13th of February 2022. Both teams are in the top half of the table, with Borussia Dortmund five points behind league leaders Bayern Munich, while Union Berlin occupies the fourth and final Champions League position. The last time these two sides met in the Bundesliga, they produced a six-goal cracker that Dortmund eventually won. With even more at stake now, this game promises to be another exciting round of German football as we know it. Here is the latest on both teams:

Teams Status

Union Berlin

Union Berlin has upped the tempo in the Bundesliga this season, as they seek to finish as high up the table as possible to guarantee a place in Europe next season. Their performances this season have been impressive, and their form over the last five league games is balanced with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.

Union Berlin sits fourth on the league table after 21 games played. They have scored 29 goals this season, and conceded 27, earning themselves 9 wins, 7 draws, and 5 defeats. Nigerian international Taiwo Awoniyi remains their leading goalscorer with 9 goals, and Grischa Promel has contributed 4 goals and 1 assist.

For their team news, Union Berlin will be missing the services of Promel Grischa, Ryerson Julian, and Mohwald Kevin who are all sidelined with injury.

Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund is in a two-legged horse race for the title with champions Bayern Munich, whom they are 5 points behind in second place on the table at writing time. After losing to Hertha Berlin in December, they have won 3 straight games to make it 4 wins out of 5 in the league.

Rose Marco’s men have been in great form this season, winning 14, drawing 1, and losing 5 of their 20 games so far. They have already scored 52 times this season, and conceded 31 goals, with Erling Haaland contributing 16 of those 52 goals.

For their team news, Borussia Dortmund has Erling Haaland, Mats Hummels, and Emre Can on the injury list, which means they will most likely miss the encounter in Berlin.

Tipster’s Angle

Both teams have their sights set on the league or a Champions League spot at least, so every point at this stage will be important to the coaches. We expect them to field their strongest lineups, but Dortmund will be without Erling Haaland, which can affect their proficiency in front of the goal.

A win for either side will be a huge morale booster, and going by the head-to-head record over their last five meetings, a draw is unlikely to happen.

Tip: Dortmund To Win, Draw No Bet @ 1.44

Borussia Dortmund has an excellent record away from home, second only to Bayern Munich in the league. They won 3, lost 1, and drew 1 of their last five away league games.

Also, the last five meetings between these two sides have ended in a win for either side— 3 wins for Dortmund, 2 for Union Berlin. The last time there was a draw between these two was in 2018.

Tip: Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.20

One look at the H2H record between these two teams and one would notice how none of the matches have ended with less than 2 goals scored. Judging from the goalscoring form of both teams, especially Dortmund, this game will most likely witness over 1 goal. Over 1.5 Goals at 1.20 odds is available at the Parimatch sportsbook.

Conclusion

Dortmund is the clear favorite to win this tie, judging from current form, H2H performances, etc. Union Berlin can certainly cause an upset, but we expect this game to go Dortmund’s way.
