Union Berlin vs Borussia Mönchengladbach preview: Hosts look to build momentum | OneFootball

Union Berlin

The host's tally of four amassed last time out in Sinsheim matched their tally of the last seven matches prior, and Die Eisernen go into this weekend unbeaten in two.

Marin Llubjicic, Andrej Ilicic and Benedict Hollerbach all netted for Union, with top scorer Hollerbach scoring a double.

Sitting 10 points ahead of 16th placed Heidenheim, Steffen Baumgart's side will now look to build momentum after silencing relegation questions that have arisen since the winter return.

Only being beaten twice at home this campaign, Union will be confident regarding picking up a result against Gladbach in Köpenick this weekend.

Team News

Union will be without suspended fullback Christopher Trimmel, alongside centre-back Kevin Vogt, Danilho Doekhi and Diogo Leite are expected to be flanked by Josip Juranovic and Robert Skov at the back.

Midfielder Aljoscha Kemlein is ruled out until later this month, while Benedict Hollerbach has been sidelined until March with a foot injury after scoring two against Hoffenheim.

Borussia Mönchengladbach

Gladbach played out a 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt last time out in a match both sides will feel they could have taken three points from.

However, last time out on the road, Gerardo Seoane's men secured a fantastic 2-1 win against VfB Stuttgart, which will give them confidence as they travel to the capital on Saturday afternoon.

Die Fohlen are undefeated in three Bundesliga matches, with the streak meaning that just five points separate themselves and RB Leipzig who currently occupy the final Champions League spot.

Gladbach beat Union 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in September, with this being their first victory against this weekend's opponents in nine attempts.

Team News

Gladbach carry a small injury list, however, Franck Honorat and Rocco Reitz remain unavailable.

Florian Neuhaus will likely start alongside Julian Weigl in midfield after his excellent performance against Frankfurt, and subsequent transfer links with Besiktas.

Tim Kleindiest is a certain up top, alongside Robin Hack and Nathan N'Goumou.
