📊 Match Insights
Borussia Dortmund will visit Union Berlin at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Saturday, looking to secure their position at the top of the Bundesliga.
Union Berlin, known as Die Eisernen, are eager to build on their recent victory, while Dortmund aims to move past their disappointment from midweek.
Under Mauro Lustrinelli, Union has had a rough start to the season, recording three losses and only one point from their first four matches.
However, they achieved a 1-0 win against Elversberg last weekend, with Livan Burcu scoring late to secure their first victory of the season.
Lustrinelli will be pleased with his team's clean sheet against the newly promoted side, especially since they previously had the highest number of goals conceded in the league, totaling 17.
This win has lifted Union to 16th in the Bundesliga standings, where they now have four points, just three behind eighth-placed Mainz 05.
With another win, Union could significantly alter their season's trajectory, and they can take confidence from the fact that all five of their goals this term have come at home, although they remain considerable underdogs.
In contrast, Niko Kovac's Dortmund has had a strong start to the 2026-27 season, remaining unbeaten in the Bundesliga with four wins and one draw.
Their only draw occurred in their latest league match against Werder Bremen, where they were held to a 2-2 tie at Signal Iduna Park.
