📰 Team News: Union Berlin
Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Union Berlin boss Urs Fischer to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Timo Baumgartl (Testicular Cancer) misses out.
It’s our opinion that Union may well go for a 3-2-3-2 formation for this game, utilising Frederik Roennow, Paul Jaeckel, Robin Knoche, Dominique Heintz, Christopher Trimmel, Niko Giesselmann, Genki Haraguchi, Rani Khedira, Janik Haberer, Sheraldo Becker and Jordan Pefok.
ℹ️ Team News: Hertha Berlin
Hertha Berlin manager Sandro Schwarz has not got a full squad to pick from. Kelian Nsona (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Marco Richter (Testicular Cancer), Jessic Ngankam (Knee Injury) and Dong-jun Lee (Knee Injury) won’t be making appearances. Lucas Tousart is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
We’re of the thinking that Hertha will likely elect for a 4-3-2-1 system, going with Oliver Christensen, Jonjoe Kenny, Dedryck Boyata, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Marvin Plattenhardt, Vladimir Darida, Ivan Sunjic, Suat Serdar, Dodi Lukebakio, Myziane Maolida and Davie Selke.
🧠 Prediction
It looks to us that Union Berlin will, in all likelihood, be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
Conversely, Hertha Berlin may well struggle to score a goal of their own - but, we do see them scoring here.
Our selection here is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Union Berlin at full-time.
