We all know pretty much about Real Madrid, but how good, and who in general, is Union Berlin?

They have regularly been in Bundesiga 2, but have turned into the best Berlin club ahead of Hertha. Finishing in top-4 gave them a straight position in this stage.

The Bundesliga have not started extremely well as you see from the results and xG-data below:

Good results against the weaker teams with efficient finishing, but more difficult vs the better half teams.

Their best weapon is perhaps set pieces, the coach Urs Fischer has been doing a good work for a long time since 2018. For this season they have signed some interesting new names to strengthen the mid-axis. Aaronson from Leeds, Gosens from Inter (previously a star in Atalanta) , Leite from Porto, and top of everything Leonardo Bonucci whose arrival made the fans crazy! He is likely to start from the bench though, and there are several injuries and suspension as well in the team.

Rani Khedira, András Schäfer and Laurenz Dehl are injured, left wing-back Janik Haberer is suspended.

All in all, I do not see Union as a top German team just yet, and they have never been in such a hard place.

Real on the other hand are today naturally without Benzema who in making money in Saudi and Vinicius who is out for a few weeks, but they have Jude Bellingham who seems to score in every match with a smile on his face.

They have a clean 5 win run in the local league, with the following results:

They have won all, they have been the better side in all of them although only narrowly, but the culture of winning is easily seen. What is worth noticing is that they have conceded 3 goals, and all of them have been conceded within the 15 first minutes!

Is it a question of lack of concentration? Nevertheless, they have come back each time.

Today I see it unlikely that Union start too aggressively, and the Real Madrid can have as much of the ball they want. Apart from Vinicius there are no other top players out than Militao and Mandy, both easily replaced, but there is not much depth anymore to lose any more defenders to injury. The keeper Kepa came to replace Courtois and even if he is top-10 keeper in the world he is still not quite as convincing.

With Bellingham, Joselu, Rodrygo and Valverde they have several different goal-scorer types. A fox in the box, a big man to score headers, a dribbler, a long-shot threat. And Toni Kroos!

I sympathize Union, but this is a rather easy win for Real Madrid tonight. Good luck!

我们都很了解皇家马德里，但柏林联盟到底有多好?

他们经常参加德甲联赛，但已经超越赫塔成为柏林最好的俱乐部。在这个阶段，前4名的成绩给了他们一个直接的位置。

从下面的结果和x - g数据可以看出，德甲开局并不好:

对阵实力较弱的球队取得了不错的成绩，但对阵实力较强的球队就比较困难了。

他们最好的武器可能是定位球，教练乌尔斯·菲舍尔自2018年以来一直做得很好。本赛季他们签下了一些有趣的新球员来加强中轴。来自利兹的阿伦森，来自国际米兰的戈森斯(之前是亚特兰大的球星)，波尔图的雷特，以及最重要的莱昂纳多·博努奇，他的到来让球迷们疯狂!他很可能会从板凳上首发，球队中也有几名伤员和停赛。

赫迪拉，András Schäfer和德尔受伤，左后卫哈贝雷尔停赛。

总而言之，我还不认为曼联是一支顶级的德国球队，他们从来没有处于如此艰难的境地。

另一方面，皇马今天自然没有本泽马，他在沙特赚钱，维尼修斯也缺阵了几周，但他们有贝林厄姆，他似乎每场比赛都能进球，脸上带着微笑。

他们在当地联赛中取得了5连胜，成绩如下:

他们赢得了所有的比赛，他们是所有比赛中表现更好的一方，虽然差距很小，但胜利的文化很容易看到。值得注意的是，他们已经丢了3个球，而且都是在开场15分钟内丢的!

是注意力不集中的问题吗?然而，他们每次都回来。

今天我认为曼联开局不太可能过于激进，皇马可以随心所欲地控制球权。除了维尼休斯，除了米里托和曼迪，没有其他顶级球员缺席，他们都很容易被替换，但阵容的深度已经不够了，无法再因为伤病而失去更多的后卫。门将凯帕来取代库尔图瓦，即使他是世界排名前十的门将，他仍然没有那么令人信服。

加上贝灵汉、何塞卢、罗德里戈和巴尔韦德，他们有几种不同类型的射手。禁区里的狐狸，头球得分的大个子，运球高手，远射威胁。还有托尼·克罗斯!

我同情曼联，但今晚对皇马来说这是一场相当轻松的胜利。好运！
