📋 Team News: Union Berlin

Josip Juranovic (Calf problems), Robert Skov (Foot injury), Jérôme Roussillon (Knock), Aljoscha Kemlein (Foot surgery), Diogo Leite (Head injury) and Woo-yeong Jeong (Ankle injury) will not be able to play for Union Berlin manager Steffen Baumgart.

We think that Union look set to use the 3-5-2 formation for the game featuring Frederik Roennow, Danilho Doekhi, Kevin Vogt, Leopold Querfeld, Christopher Trimmel, Andras Schafer, Rani Khedira, Janik Haberer, Tom Rothe, Benedict Hollerbach and Andrej Ilic.

🗞️ Team News: Heidenheim

Heidenheim boss Frank Schmidt has to choose a team with limited availability. Christopher Negele (muscular problems), Luka Janes (muscular problems), Leo Scienza (Back problems), Sirlord Conteh (Knee problems) and Kevin Müller (concussion) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe Heidenheim might make use of a 3-5-2 system with a starting lineup of Frank Feller, Patrick Mainka, Benedikt Gimber, Tim Siersleben, Omar Traore, Marnon-Thomas Busch, Jan Schoeppner, Niklas Dorsch, Frans Kraetzig, Adrian Beck and Marvin Pieringer.

💡 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Heidenheim will have a tough ask to register a score against this Union Berlin team who we think should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

Therefore, we predict a narrow 1-0 win for Union Berlin at full-time.

A close call.
