⚽ Match Overview

Union Berlin host Borussia Mönchengladbach at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, with both sides searching for a spark to kickstart their Bundesliga campaigns. Union have been patchy at home but typically hard to break down, while Gladbach are struggling to find rhythm under pressure — without a win in their last five league games.

Union’s form line shows 2 wins from their last 6, whereas Gladbach have drawn 3 and lost 2, failing to score in several of those outings. Recent data trends point towards a tight tactical contest rather than a goal-fest, though both sides do tend to create decent shooting volumes.

🔍 Statistical Breakdown
  • Goals & Attack:
    Gladbach average around 14 shots per match and 5.7 on target, converting at roughly 8%. Union produce fewer overall attempts (10.5) but are more efficient in front of goal, converting close to 11%.

  • Possession & Control:
    Gladbach enjoy the majority of possession in most fixtures (55%+ average), while Union favour direct transitions and set-piece strength. Expect Gladbach to dictate tempo, with Union looking to counter through vertical passes.

  • Defensive Profile:
    Union concede 1.4 goals per game at home but defend well when scoring first. Gladbach’s away record is worrying — conceding 2+ in four of their last six on the road.

  • Corners:
    Corners have been frequent in both teams’ matches — Union’s last five have averaged 9.2 corners, while Gladbach’s away games show a mean of 8.8. Over 7.5 corners has landed in 68% of their combined fixtures.

  • Discipline:
    Both sides average around 2.8 cards per match, with Gladbach slightly higher due to defensive chasing. Key candidates for bookings include Union’s Rani Khedira and Gladbach’s Ko Itakura, who both average over 1 foul per 90.

  • Scoring Patterns:
    Mönchengladbach tend to start fast, scoring 35% of their goals in the opening half hour. Union often grow into games — over 60% of their goals arrive after the 60th minute.

💡 Key Insights
  • Moderate goal expectancy:
    Both sides average just over two total goals per game — and historical matchups trend towards that same range.

  • Home advantage matters:
    Union are solid at the Alten Försterei, especially when scoring first — they’ve lost only once in their last 10 Bundesliga home games when netting before the break.

  • BTTS potential:
    67% of their past meetings have seen both sides score, and both average around 9+ shots per game — suggesting chances at both ends.

  • Discipline market worth watching:
    Both midfields press aggressively, and tactical fouls are common in this fixture — expect 3–5 cards, particularly around the middle third.

  • Player goal threat:
    Tim Kleindienst (Gladbach) remains the standout forward threat, averaging 2.4 shots per match and 1.1 on target. His xG and finishing metrics make him a solid anytime scorer option if Gladbach create enough.

🧠 TipMan Verdict

Union Berlin hold the upper hand here. They’re strong at home, compact defensively, and well-drilled tactically — whereas Gladbach’s away form and finishing have been major concerns. Expect a tight, structured encounter, but one that should still produce goals at both ends.
