Union Berlin Preview – Can Union Berlin halt slump?
Following four defeats from their last five matches in the Bundesliga, Sunday’s hosts, Union Berlin, have dropped down to 14th place and are now nervously looking over their shoulders at the teams below them and the relegation zone as third from bottom Fortuna Dusseldorf are now just four points behind them.
Losses to Freiburg, Bayern Munich, Hertha Berlin and Borussia Moenchengladbach have done little for Union Berlin’s dwindling confidence levels, and they’ll now head into this upcoming clash against Schalke on Sunday needing a result of some sort.
Union Berlin have also failed to win any of their last four matches at home too amidst an overall record that stands at an inconsistent looking 6-2-6 19/19 but this suggests that the prospects of both teams scoring looks likely; for their part, Union Berlin have scored in 11 of their 14 home matches to date.
Schalke Preview – Can Schalke halt slide?
Sunday’s visitors, Schalke, have also experienced a slump in results of late in the Bundesliga as they’ve lost their last four matches on the trot with defeats handed out by Borussia Dortmund, Augsburg, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Werder Bremen, so they’ll be heading into this encounter seeking to avoid a fifth straight defeat here.
Overall, Schalke have failed to win any of their last 11 matches and the visitors are seemingly in free-fall mode as they now occupy 10th place on the Bundesliga ladder but the rot has set in, while they’ve also failed to win their last eight away matches too.
An away record of 4-4-6 16/24 isn’t to be trusted either but Schalke at least stand a decent chance of hitting the back of the net against a similarly down-and-out Union Berlin outfit, so the prospect of both teams scoring here looks quite promising.
