Union Berlin – Borussia Mönchengladbach

Union Berlin head into the clash still languishing in 16th place with a solitary point from three games, having scored four and conceded ten. Their opponents, Borussia Mönchengladbach, sit just below them in 17th, yet to earn a point and having been beaten three times while finding the net only three times against twelve conceded. The Berlin side will be desperate to turn their lone draw into a win on home soil, while Gladbach will be looking for their first breakthrough to climb out of the relegation zone. Both teams will be keen to close the gap at the bottom, setting up a tense encounter that could reshape the early-season table.
