Gameday in Berlin for the first leg of the 1/8 final between Union Berlin & Union Saint Gilloise.

Union will be without Andras Schafer. Giesselmann & Roussillon should be back.

On their side USG should get their captain for this game. Teuma left the pitch against Eupen but according to last news it's not important and he will be fit. Ayensa is still injured.

In Bundesliga Union is ranked 3 with 13 wins, 5 draws & 5 losses for 35 goals scored & 27 goals conceded. On the previous round they eliminated Ajax.

On their side USG is ranked 2 in JPL with 18 wins, 5 draws & 5 losses for 57 goals scored & 34 goals conceded. They aren't in a good momentum lately, they bounced back with a win against Eupen but they didn't deserve the win that much; the draw would have been the most deserved result. USG hadn't to play a previous round in the Europa League as they finished first of their group.

Both teams already met twice this season as they were in the same group, USG won on the road 0-1 and Union Berlin won 0-1 but this game had less meaning as USG was already qualified.

USG is doing one more time a surprising season but they aren't that good as at the early of the season, they lost a bit of confidence. There is an important fact who changed since those meetings and USG at the early of season, they lost Vanzeir who left to MLS and he was very important player in front. USG will have a very important game against Genk few days after this game so they might focus more this game as the domestic league is more important for the title and regarding a qualification for the Champions League.

In front of their fans I expect Union Berlin to win this game 2-0 or 2-1.

柏林联队和圣吉卢瓦斯联队 1/8 决赛第一回合的比赛日在柏林举行。

柏林联合将缺少 Andras Schafer。 Giesselmann & Roussillon 应该回来了。

圣吉联合USG 应该让他们的队长参加这场比赛。Teuma 在对阵 Eupen 的比赛中离开了球场，但根据最新消息，这并不重要，他会康复的。 Ayensa 仍然受伤。

在德甲联赛中，联盟以13胜5平5负的成绩排名第3，打进35球失27球。在上一轮他们淘汰了阿贾克斯。

圣吉联合以18胜5平5负的成绩在比甲排名第2，打进57球失34球。他们最近的势头不佳，他们在战胜欧本后反弹，但他们不配获得这场胜利；平局本来是最应得的结果。

USG 没有参加欧罗巴联赛的前一轮比赛，因为他们以小组第一的成绩完赛。 两队本赛季已交手两次，同组，USG客场0-1取胜，柏林联队以 0-1 获胜，但这场比赛的意义不大，因为圣吉联合已经出线。

USG 又做了一个令人惊讶的赛季，但他们不如赛季初那么好，他们失去了一点信心。自从赛季初 USG 以来，有一个重要的事实发生了变化，他们失去了离开 MLS 的 Vanzeir，他是前场非常重要的球员。

USG 将在这场比赛后几天与亨克进行一场非常重要的比赛，因此他们可能会更加关注这场比赛，因为国内联赛对于冠军头衔和欧冠资格来说更为重要。

在他们的球迷面前，我预计柏林联合能够以 2-0 或 2-1 赢得这场比赛。
