On November 25, Union Berlin will host Augsburg in a Bundesliga match at Alte Foersterei.
Union Berlin’s dismal performance in the current campaign has been one of the most noticeable aspects in any of Europe’s major leagues, following their historic first-ever Champions League qualification the previous season. Urs Fischer was relieved of his managerial duties after Die Eisernen’s nine consecutive league defeats, which included a 4-0 loss on the road against the league’s top team Bayer Leverkusen just before the international break, sent them to the bottom of the table. While midfielder Rani Khedira is sidelined due to suspension, tall Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci has joined players like Danilho Doekhi, Andras Schafer, and Josip Juranovic in the recuperation room. Union Berlin has won 2 of its previous 6 Bundesliga home games, drawn none, and lost 4 and they gave up 12 goals while scoring five.
Conversely, Augsburg seem to have advanced under their new manager, Jess Thorup. They have shown improvement in recent weeks, following a somewhat poor start under the former Copenhagen manager who succeeded Enrico Maassen in the summer. In fact, Augsburg scored 8 goals in a row in back-to-back wins over Wolfsburg and Heidenheim before drawing 1-1 with FC Koln and Hoffenheim in the run-up to the international break. Augsburg has only triumphed once in their last 6 Bundesliga road games and they were outscored 13 goals to 7 while also drawing 1 and losing 4 times. Regarding the opposing team, midfielder Masaya Okugawa is a serious doubt, while all of Arne Maier, Niklas Dorsch, Raphael Framberger, David Colina, Sven Michel, and Frederik Winther are out due to injury. It appears that Thorup is far less concerned in possessing the ball. They had less possession in each of the 10 league games that followed their opening-day 4–4 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.
