Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to secure a victory against Union Berlin in the eighth round of the Bundesliga this Saturday, as they strive to keep up with league leaders Leverkusen.
Despite their disappointing performances in top-tier European competition, where they have only managed to secure one point from matches against Paris Saint-Germain (0-2) and AC Milan (0-0), the players in black and yellow are currently having a successful league season. However, Borussia Dortmund remains a mysterious team, as demonstrated in the previous season when they let a seemingly guaranteed title slip away, ultimately losing it to Bayern Munich. Despite facing numerous challenges, Edin Terzic’s team has every reason to be proud of their campaign so far, as they have gathered an impressive 14 points in six matches, just two points behind the league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
On the other hand, Union Berlin appears to have undergone a drastic transformation since their remarkable performance in the previous season, where they surprised everyone by finishing fourth in the Bundesliga and securing a historic place in the Champions League. Despite their display of bravery and determination against Real Madrid and Braga, the team from Germany’s capital failed to achieve any victories in these European encounters. To make matters worse, their performance on home ground has provided little reason for optimism, as Die Eisernen have only managed to accumulate six points out of a possible 18 in the first six matches. This makes replicating last season’s success an extremely challenging task.
Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin Betting Tips: Dortmund to Win
The BVB has made significant progress in their performance lately, after a less than convincing beginning. It is particularly intriguing that their win of 3-1 over Hoffenheim last Friday extended their impressive unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to 14 consecutive matches (with 9 wins and 5 draws). Motivated by their recent dominant performances, Borussia Dortmund is determined to secure a victory against a lackluster Union Berlin team, who are arriving in Dortmund with low spirits. Without a doubt, the team that finished fourth last season is currently facing deeper troubles, and it seems that their crisis is far from over.
Union Berlin has endured a string of six straight losses in all competitions. Additionally, they suffered a major collapse in the Champions League’s second round, relinquishing a 2-0 lead to Braga and ultimately losing 2-3. Given their track record at Signal Iduna Park, where they have lost all four matches since returning to the Bundesliga, it is difficult to imagine any hope for Union Berlin in their upcoming clash. Taking all these factors into account, we anticipate that the black and yellow team will dominate the game and secure a comfortable victory.

Borussia Dortmund team news
Due to an ongoing hip injury, Marcel Sabitzer, who made the move from Bayern Munich this summer, will remain sidelined for the fourth consecutive match. This implies that Felix Nmecha is set to continue featuring in the starting eleven until the Austrian international is back to full fitness.
Earning two yellow cards in last week’s 3-1 triumph over Hoffenheim, Dortmund’s left-back, Ramy Bensebaini, will not be available to coach Edin Terzic. During his suspension, Marius Wolf is expected to take his place.
