Union Berlin Form & Balance Check
1. FC Union Berlin are trying to build on their successful last season. In the first five games, the capital team had high-quality opponents. In return, coach Urs Fischer’s team was able to earn a few points. At the beginning, the Union team snatched a point at home against Leverkusen. In the following game, they drew against Hoffenheim for the second time in a row. This was followed by an astonishing 2-1 win over Borussia M’gladbach at the Alte Försterei. After a goalless draw in the following match against FC Augsburg, they hailed four goals against Dortmund and a 4:2 defeat.
Union conceded first defeat against Dortmund
Union Berlin was already 2:0 behind at half-time against Borussia Dortmund. It’s hard for any team to come back at Signal-Iduna-Park. The Berliners even fell behind 3:0 through an own goal by defender Friedrich. But then the team from the capital took heart and played courageously forward. Kruse scored the 3:1 equaliser in the 57th minute. Voglsammer was able to create tension again in the 83rd minute and scored the 3:2, before Haaland scored two minutes later for the 4:2 final score for BVB.

Bielefeld form & balance check
Arminia Bielefeld are currently in solid form. They have already drawn four times and, like their upcoming opponents, Union Berlin, have only been beaten once. Nevertheless, coach Frank Kramer’s team has been waiting for a win since the start of the Bundesliga. The Bielefelders simply lack offensive punch. The Westphalians have scored just three goals, the same number as bottom of the table Greuther Fürth.
Weak offensive
Arminia Bielefeld have never scored more than once in each of their five Bundesliga games so far. We suspect this streak will continue against Union Berlin. The Capitals are more goal-prone than Bielefeld, but have experienced and high-quality players in the defensive chain like Knoche, Baumgartl and Co. Arminia Bielefeld do not have a player who has scored more than once. Therefore, it remains exciting whether they will score a goal against Union.
Bielefeld facts & analysis
– They are currently 13th in the table.
– The Westphalians have been waiting for a win since matchday one
– They last played 0-0 against Hoffenheim
Predicted line-up – last update on 23 September 2021
We expect Union Berlin in almost the same starting line-up as against Borussia Dortmund. At the right-back position, however, the veteran Trimmel could move back into the starting eleven. He excels on crosses and has years of experience. Union has been playing in a 3-4-1-2 system for some time now.
Since Arminia Bielefeld earned a respectable draw against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in their last match, it can be assumed that they will start with the same formation and starting line-up as against Sinsheim. They currently operate in a classic 4-4-2 system.
