Borussia Mönchengladbach – Union Berlin

Borussia Mönchengladbach host Union Berlin in what promises to be a decisive clash at home, with both sides languishing in the lower reaches of the table. Glad Gladbach sit 17th, still on zero points after three defeats and a meagre 3‑12 goal return, while Union Berlin occupy 16th with a solitary point from a goalless draw and a 4‑10 deficit. The encounter offers Gladbach a chance to snap their losing streak and climb out of the relegation zone, whereas Berlin will look to build on the lone point and close the gap to the bottom. Their recent head‑to‑head record provides little comfort for either side, as both have struggled to find the net this season, setting the stage for a potentially tight, goal‑hungry showdown.
