Union Berlin, Recent FormUnion Berlin will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against RB Leipzig. During that encounter they had 36% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
Manager Urs Fischer will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 15 games in a row. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 5 league games.
Goalscorer Danilho Doekhi will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Union Berlin.
Schalke 04, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Wolfsburg will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Schalke 04. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Wolfsburg's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Having scored just 1 goal in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Thomas Reis where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 11 in the same period. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 5 of their last 6 league games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 6 consecutive games without a win.
The last time these two teams met Union Berlin enforced their superiority over Schalke 04 with a comfortable 1-6 win.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions Schalke has visited Union in the league.
Union manager Urs Fischer has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19), Jakob Busk (Cold) and András Schäfer (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Reis has a number of injury concerns in his Schalke squad to contend with: Cédric Brunner (Hip), Dominick Drexler (Illness), Justin Heekeren (Cruciate ligament), Marcin Kamiński (Illness), Danny Latza (Knee), Sebastian Polter (Cruciate ligament) and Sepp van den Berg (Ligament)
