📈 Union Berlin v Dortmund Form & Tactics

It’s been a decent run of form for the hosts; they’ve been unbeaten in their last six matches, winning three and drawing three. However, all the draws have come in their last three. Union currently sit 9th in the league, 11 points above the relegation zone and five points off the European spots.

Union are good value for their position in the league this season, the xG table currently has them in 7th position, with 1.6 more points than they already have. There has been an underperformance on goals conceded, with opposition teams showing a clinical streak in the final third.

While Dortmund may have suffered a tough defeat at the hands of Tottenham in midweek, they’ve been very resilient in the Bundesliga, only suffering defeat on one occasion at the Allianz Arena. However, despite this, they’re still a whopping 11 points behind leaders Bayern Munich, drawing six matches across the season has cost them, even with a good points tally.

Dortmund currently sit 3rd in the form table over the last ten games, amassing 22 points from ten games, very much in line with their usual points averages across the course of the season.

📔 Union Berlin v Dortmund Formation & Team News

Under the stewardship of Steffen Baumgart, who was appointed in late 2024, Union Berlin have shifted towards a more direct, attacking, and intense method of football. Union Berlin have typically been utilizing a 3-4-3 formation.

There’s an emphasis on moving the ball forward quickly, rather than building from the back. The team often allows the opposition to have possession of the ball, prioritising defensive organisation and being lethal on the counterattack. Union prioritise getting the ball into wide areas and delivering early crosses into the box.

The hosts have a few injury problems, with Dmytro Bogdanov, Tom Rothe, Tim Skarke, and Robert Skov all expected to miss the game, while Derrick Kohn is out with a suspension after picking up a red card against Augsburg.

Niko Kovac has turned Dortmund into a more stable, disciplined, and defensively sound team, shifting away from possession-heavy tactics towards a more pragmatic and direct approach. Kovac has implemented a 3-4-2-1 formation, with a heavy emphasis on the wing-backs getting forward and creating overloads in wide areas.

Dortmund focus on vertical passing and rapid counterattacks to exploit space behind opponents. Guirassy often acts as the focal point in attack, while attacking midfielders like Brandt and Adeyemi operate in the half spaces to be a source of creative influence.

Dortmund have a relatively clean bill of health; the only lingering question mark is the fitness of Marcel Sabitzer.
