Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund prediction 02.03.2024

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: Saturday, 2nd March 2024
• Kickoff: 14:30 UK/15:30 CET
• Venue: Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Berlin)

Union Berlin had its most successful season last year, finishing fourth in the Bundesliga and securing a Champions League spot. However, this year has been more challenging for the team, with a significant part of the season spent in the relegation zone. Recently, Nenad Bjelica’s squad has improved, currently standing eight points clear of the relegation area. They have remained unbeaten in their last four matches. Their most recent game resulted in a 2-2 draw against Heidenheim at home.

Borussia Dortmund likely anticipated a more successful season, yet they currently hold the fourth spot on the table. Edin Terzic’s squad is expected to compete with RB Leipzig for the last Champions League position in the coming months. Borussia Dortmund has only secured a victory in one out of their last five matches across all competitions. In their previous game, they suffered a 3-2 loss at home to Hoffenheim. The home team merited all three points from that match, having an expected goal (xG) of 2.73, compared to the guests’ 1.16.

Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund pick: Under 2.5 goals

Offensively, Union Berlin is facing difficulties, as they have only managed to score six goals in their past eight games. Out of those eight matches, seven had fewer than 2.5 goals. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund saw fewer than 2.5 goals in two of their last three games. Therefore, betting on under 2.5 goals seems to be the safest wager for this match.
