After sealing a spot in the DFB-Pokal final following a narrow win, the Red Bulls take on the Iron Ones once again, this time in the Bundesliga, looking to complete a double over Die Eisernen across both fronts. RB Leipzig vs. 1. FC Union Berlin, kicks off at 14:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 23, at the Red Bull Arena.

FC Union Berlin will have the chance to take a pound of flesh off the Red Bulls following Wednesday's defeat in the DFB-Pokal semi-final. Last time out in the Bundesliga, the Iron Ones picked up a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. The victory saw Union move one spot up the table from 7th to 6th place, having picked up 47 points from 13W, 8D, and 9L. Union has three victories in a row, DLWWW, ahead of this match against Leipzig, and would like to remain in European places. Berlin has won the last two Bundesliga games against RB Leipzig [both at home by the same 2-1 scoreline] and will look to make it three in a row on Saturday. Urs Fischer could appear with the 3—4—1—2 formation, having Sheraldo Becker and Taiwo Awoniyi in attack. Meanwhile, Baumgartl is suspended for the weekend’s game.

Having dropped more points last weekend, the Reds are back against the Iron Ones, looking to regain lost ground in the Bundesliga title race. The clash between Bayern Munich and 1. FC Union Berlin kicks off at 18:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 19, at the Allianz Arena.

FC Union Berlin were held to a 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart last weekend. The draw leaves Union Berlin in 8th place on the Bundesliga table, with 38 points from 10W, 8D, & 8L, while they remain without a win in two games: LLWLD. A victory here on Saturday appears unlikely, but Urs Fischer could be looking to pull some inspiration from the likes of Sebastian Hoeneß and Gerardo Seoane, whose sides ran away with a point against the current champions. The Iron Ones could be molded into a 3—5—2 formation with Taiwo Awoniyi and Sven Michel in attack against Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Grischa Prömel is suspended for the weekend’s fixture.

The Bundesliga fixture, VfL Wolfsburg vs. FC Union Berlin, kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 5, at the Volkswagen Arena.

Following last weekend's 3-1 win over FSV Mainz 05, FC Union Berlin sits in 7th place on the Bundesliga table, having picked up 37 points from 10W, 7D, and 7L. The victory saw the Iron Ones return to winning ways after three straight defeats: WLLLW. On Tuesday, Union Berlin picked up a 2-1 win over FC Saint Pauli in a DFB-Pokal quarter-final clash. Meanwhile, Die Eisernen are looking to make a late assault on the top-four this weekend by picking up three points at the Volkswagen Arena. They trail the section by three points, and a victory here could see them close in on their target if favorable results emerge elsewhere, as they aim to complete a Bundesliga league double over Wolfsburg. Urs Fischer’s 3—5—2 formation may foster another attacking partnership between Sheraldo Becker and Taiwo Awoniyi. The Nigerian forward, Taiwo Awoniyi, is Union’s top scorer with 10 goals in 21 appearances this season, which amounts to a 34% goal contribution in Union’s haul of 32 goals.

The Bundesliga fixture, Union Berlin vs. Borussia Dortmund kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, February 13, at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.

FC Union Berlin failed to earn a point on Matchday 21, having lost to Augsburg, 2-0, with Taiwo Awoniyi’s return from the Africa Cup of Nations [with Nigeria] failing to inspire. It didn’t take long before Augsburg hit the back of the net after Union had tried to play out from the back, giving the ball away in the process to see Michael Gregoritsch (16’) with an easy finish right in front of goal. Union were unable to create anything noteworthy over the course of the first half, leaving Augsburg to do all the attacking. A minute before the hour mark, Union Berlin conceded. A remarkable 25-yard-strike from Andre Hahn (59’) rattled the back of the net, leaving Union Berlin with a two-goal deficit at the end of the ninety. Union Berlin have the Bundesliga form: WDWWL, and remain in 4th place, having picked up 34 points after 9W, 7D, & 5L. Urs Fischer aims to see his side put the disappointing loss behind them and pick up at least a point on Sunday against the Black & Yellows. On the numbers, Union Berlin have a goal ratio of 1.4 g.p.g. this season, having scored 29 goals in 21 Bundesliga games. They have also conceded 27 goals and have a G.D. of +2. An average of 1.3 goals conceded per game. A 3—4—3 formation, with Taiwo Awoniyi at the center of the attacking trio, is expected from Urs Fischer for this fixture against Dortmund. On availability, Khedira (suspended) and Ryerson (not included) are both ruled out of this weekend’s fixture.

The Bundesliga fixture, FC Augsburg vs. 1. F.C. Union Berlin, kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, February 5, at the WWK Arena.

FC Union Berlin defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1 on Bundesliga Matchday 20 to move up a spot to 4th place ahead of the winter break. Having stunned the Colts with a brace to help Union remain unbeaten in five Bundesliga games, DWDWW, Max Kruse (18' P. & 84') put pen to paper for a return to his former club, Wolfsburg. I made the decision to return to Wolfsburg because our story isn't over yet, Kruse said in a statement on the club's website [Wolfsburg], following the shocking departure from Union Berlin. The 33-year-old left it late, leaving the club without any time to find a suitable replacement before the end of the just-concluded January transfer window. His departure hits us unexpectedly, and it will be a demanding task to compensate for this sporting loss, Union's managing director, Oliver Ruhnert said. Meanwhile, the Iron Ones have 34 points from 9W, 7D, & 4L and a haul of 29 goals (1.45 goals scored per game) after 20 Bundesliga games. In addition, Die Eisernen have conceded 25 goals (1.25 goals per match) and have a G.D. of +4. Urs Fischer lined up the 4—4—2 formation against Mönchengladbach on Matchday 20. A similar shape, with Michel and Nigeria’s Taiwo Awoniyi is expected in attack on Saturday. Awoniyi will be replacing Kruse who packed his bags over the weekend to join a pack of Wolves.

Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. 1. FC Union Berlin kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, January 22, at Borussia-Park.

Earlier in the week, on Wednesday, FC Union Berlin picked up a 3-2 win over city rivals, Hertha Berlin, in the last-16 DFB-Pokal derby encounter at the Olympiastadion Berlin. Back in the Bundesliga, Union defeated Hoffenheim 2-1 on Bundesliga Matchday 19. An own goal from Timo Baumgartl [16' O.G.] left Hoffenheim with the lead minutes into the first half. However, a fine header from Andreas Voglsammer [22'] crashed off the cross-bar and settled behind the goal-line, putting Union back on level terms. Minutes later, another effort, off the cross-bar was followed up by an improvised diving header from Grischa Promel [73'], handing Union Berlin the lead until full-time at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei. With the win, Union moved up two places on the Bundesliga table, jumping from seventh to fifth place with 31 points from 8W, 7D, and 4L. The club has a form that reads: LDWDW ahead of this fixture against Borussia Monchengladbach. Die Eisernen could line up with the 3—4—1—2 against Gladbach, leaving Max Kruse and Andreas Voglsammer, who was on target in the DFB-Pokal clash against Hertha, in attack. Taiwo Awoniyi (Africa Cup of Nations) is ruled out, along with Van Drongelen and Wszolek, who recently tested positive for COVID.

The Company’s Eleven return for their first game of the new year, aiming to pick up three points in a bid to break into the top three. Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. 1. FC. Union Berlin kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, January 8, at BayArena.

Before the winter break, FC Union Berlin picked up a 1-0 win over VfL Bochum. Max Kruse (16') bagged the only goal of the game inside the first twenty minutes at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion. The win saw Union Berlin move one spot up, from 8th to 7th place on the Bundesliga table, having picked up 27 points from 7W, 6D, and 4L. The club has a form that reads: LWLDW, ahead of this fixture against Bayer Leverkusen. A win here could see Union Berlin take a step into the top six if favorable outcomes emerge at the end of the weekend. In the game against Bochum, Urs Fischer had the Iron Ones beaten into the shape of a 3—4—1—2, with Sheraldo Becker and Nigeria’s Taiwo Awoniyi [now unavailable due to AFCON] in attack. Max Kruse, who was positioned behind the duo, is expected to move into attack, filling up for the absent Awoniyi, while Kevin Behrens is expected to take Sheraldo Becker's place. Becker and Paweł Wszołek (COVID-19) failed to travel with Die Eisernen for the trip to BayArena.

1. FC Union Berlin vs. RB Leipzig kicks off at 20:30 (GMT+1) on Friday, December 3, at Stadion An der Alten Försterei.

Union Berlin were unable to replicate their famous victory at the Berlin Derby two Saturdays ago, having been defeated by Frankfurt, 2-1, at the Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday. Frankfurt's Djibril Sow’s 22nd-minute long-range strike, his first goal in almost two years, separated both sides midway through the first half. Three minutes later, Frankfurt almost extended their lead, but Kamada’s header crashed off the cross-bar. However, Max Kruse (62' P.) would restore parity after the Nigerian, Taiwo Awoniyi, was brought down in the box. But a late goal from N'dicka (90'+5), who got on the end of an inch-perfect cross from Filip Kostić, left Union with their second defeat in five games: DLDWL. The loss saw Union drop one spot down the table, from 5th to 6th place, having picked up 20 points after 5W, 5D, and 3L. Union Berlin has a goal ratio of 1.54 g.p.g. this season, having scored 20 goals in 13 Bundesliga games. They have also conceded 19 goals and have a G.D. of +1. An average of 1.46 goals conceded per game. Onlookers saw a 3—5—2 formation with Max Kruse and the Nigeria international, Taiwo Awoniyi, in attack. Urs Fischer is expected to stick with the same formation and attacking duo for this game against Leipzig. Kevin Behrens (COVID-19) remains in doubt for this fixture.

The Bundesliga fixture, Eintracht Frankfurt vs. 1. F.C. Union Berlin, kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, November 28, at the Deutsche Bank Park.

The Iron Ones are also making their return from European soil, having defeated Maccabi Haifa FC, 1-0, on Thursday in the Europa Conference League. Back at home, Union defeated Hertha Berlin 2-0 in the Berlin derby last Saturday. The Nigerian, Taiwo Awoniyi (8'), put Union in the lead inside the first ten minutes. Right at the half-hour mark, Christopher Trimmel (30') bagged Union’s second and the final goal of the game at the Stadion Alte Försterei. The comfortable 2-0-win saw Union Berlin move three spots ahead, from 8th to 5th place on the Bundesliga table, having picked up 20 points from 5W, 5D, & 2L. The club has a form that reads: WDLDW, ahead of this fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt. FC Union Berlin has a total haul of 19 goals after 12 Bundesliga games, a goal ratio of 1.58 goals per game. In addition, Die Eisernen has conceded 17 times this season and has a G.D. of +2. This is an average of 1.42 goals conceded per match. Urs Fischer is tipped for the 3—4—1—2 formation against Frankfurt, with Kruse and Awoniyi in attack on Sunday. Awoniyi has 8 goals in 12 appearances in the Bundesliga for Union Berlin, representing a 42% participation in all episodes that have led to a goal for the club this season. Meanwhile, Behrens (COVID-19) has been left out of the squad for this trip to Frankfurt.

Over the weekend, fifth-placed Union Berlin will host the Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in an attempt to close the gap between both teams. This highly anticipated fixture kicks off at 14:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, October 30, alongside a host of other Bundesliga fixtures such as Dortmund vs. Koln and Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. Wolfsburg.

Union Berlin picked up a 3-1 win in Wednesday’s DFB-Pokal match against SV Waldholf. Back in the German Bundesliga, Berlin were held to a 1-1 draw against ten-men VfB Stuttgart last weekend at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Red-hot-form Taiwo Awoniyi (31’) separated both sides a minute over the half-hour mark with a sweeping left-footed strike to the bottom corner. Union picked up the numerical advantage after Atakan Karazor (R. 57’) picked up his second yellow, three minutes short of the hour mark. However, undeterred, a spirited fight from Stuttgart saw them return to level terms after a last-gasp effort from Wahid Faghir (90'). The result came after three victories in a row: LWWWD, and saw Berlin remain in 5th place, having picked up 16 points after 4W, 4D, & 1L. With the help of Taiwo Awoniyi, who is fourth on the Bundesliga highest goal scorers' list with a haul of 7, Union has netted a total of 13 goals in nine Bundesliga games. A goal against the champions on Saturday would further raise his candidacy for a place with the Reds, come next season. According to uncorroborated rumors, the 24-year-old appears to be on Bayern’s radar. Coming back to the numbers, Union has conceded 10 goals and has a goal difference of +3. A 3—5—2 formation may be seen from Urs Fischer, with Awoniyi and Becker in attack against Bayern Munich on Saturday.
