In the recent match against “Wolfsburg” (2-3) away, the forward scored a brace. Sebastian Hoene?’s team employs an attacking tactical formation of 3-4-2-1.

Union currently sits in 14th place in the Bundesliga standings, failing to secure a victory in the last two rounds of the national championship. First, the team drew with “Heidenheim” (2-2) at their home stadium, and then they lost to Dortmund’s “Borussia” on their own turf. Despite this, Berlin feels relatively comfortable, maintaining an eight-point gap from the relegation playoff zone. Notably, the team has one of the weakest attacking lines in the league, scoring only 23 goals in 24 matches. Nenad Bjelica’s team adheres to a tactical scheme of 3-5-2, with a significant role played by the wing players who drive almost all attacks. However, Berliners face serious problems with reliability, as their defense makes a considerable number of mistakes.
