🗞️ Team News: Union Berlin

Janik Haberer (Knock), Robert Skov (Fitness), Matheo Raab (Hand injury) and Frederik Rönnow (Adductor injury) are not available for Union Berlin boss Marie-Louise Eta. Derrick Köhn is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our opinion that Union may well line up in a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, utilising Carl Klaus, Christopher Trimmel, Diogo Leite, Danilho Doekhi, Tom Rothe, Rani Khedira, Aljoscha Kemlein, Oliver Burke, Ilyas Ansah, Livan Burcu and Andrej Ilic.

📰 Team News: Augsburg

Augsburg manager Manuel Baum has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Mads Pedersen (Knee problems), Arthur Chaves (Knee injury) and Dimitrios Giannoulis (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Kristijan Jakic cannot play in this game through suspension.

It’s our belief that Augsburg seem most likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 system, starting Finn Dahmen, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Cedric Zesiger, Marius Wolf, Han-Noah Massengo, Fabian Rieder, Robin Fellhauer, Anton Kade, Mert Komur and Michael Gregoritsch.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that Augsburg and Union Berlin should both be able to find the back of the net at least once here although it’s difficult at this stage to select a clear winner.

Let’s see how it plays out, but we expect to see goals and there is to be a real possibility it will end up level. That is why we are leaning toward a high-scoring affair with a draw at the end of the match.
