Prediction
| Union Berlin win 2.80 | Draw 3.40 | Borussia Dortmund win 2.50 |
The hosts have won three of their four Bundesliga home games this season and are the clear favourites. Their last three wins have been by one goal, and they have had under 2.5 goals scored in their last nine games in different competitions.
Meanwhile, the guests lost the last two away games. The return of captain Marco Reus from injury should be a welcome boost.
Prediction for this match: both teams to score without a draw.
- Union’s victory.
