The hosts were defeated vs Leverkusen last weekend before exiting the DFB-Pokal to lower-league opposition in midweek (0-3 vs Hannover) whilst the in-form visitors head into the clash on the back of a Berlin derby victory in the cup, against Hertha. For the home team, Christoph Kramer will sit out again with a cold, whilst Mamadou Doucoure and Jonas Hofmann have also been ruled out due to COVID-19 and a knee injury respectively. Ramy Bensebaini is the other absentee, with the defender remaining on international duty with Algeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.

After earning a place in this season's Europa Conference League following an impressive seventh-place finish last campaign, Union Berlin continues to look well and to disrupt the bigger names at the top of the Bundesliga, and if their impressive opening to the 2021-22 season continues, they will be in position to battle for Champion League place even! Union are not indeed so impressive on their travels as at home, despite their success at Hertha in midweek, but with so good form and good spirits, I believe they will come away with something at Gladbach in this game.

Union should stay undefeated here. Double chance on visitors pays well.

主队上周末在对阵勒沃库森的比赛中被击败，然后在周中的德国杯出局，输给低级联赛对手（0-3 对阵汉诺威），状态良好的客队在柏林德比杯中获胜后进入下一轮。主队克里斯托夫·克莱默将再次缺席，而马马杜·杜库尔和乔纳斯·霍夫曼也分别因新冠和膝伤出局。拉米·本塞拜尼（Ramy Bensebaini）是另一位缺席者，这名后卫仍然在参加非洲杯。

在上个赛季取得令人印象深刻的第七名之后，在本赛季获得了出战欧战的资格，柏林联合继续保持良好的状态，并在德甲联赛给强队制造麻烦，如果他们继续下去，他们甚至将有资格争夺冠军联赛的席位！柏林联合在他们的客场表现确实不像在主场那么令人印象深刻，他们周中对阵柏林赫塔取得了成功，但凭借如此出色的状态和良好的精神状态，我相信他们会在这场比赛中在门兴的比赛中取得出色的成绩。

柏林联合联盟应该在这里保持不败。
