FC Union Berlin vs. Borussia Monchengladbach Betting Preview
FC Union Berlin
Union Berlin finished fifth last season, narrowly missing out on a UEFA Champions League spot. Fischer’s side are looking to go one better this time around. The capital club have made an exceptional start, collecting 23 points from 11 league games.
First League Revers of This Campaign
Berlin suffered their first league reverse of the campaign at the start of the month, losing 2-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
They bounced back with wins over Stuttgart and Dortmund, but the Iron Ones lost at Bochum in their last Bundesliga matchup.

Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach finished tenth last term, and former Norwich City boss Farke was brought in to improve on that.
Bundesliga Schedule
However, it has been a similar story for the Foals, as they currently sit ninth in the Bundesliga standings with 16 points to their name.
Monchengladbach have been inconsistent this season. So far, the Prussians have picked up four wins, four draws and have suffered three defeats. Gladbach have scored 19 and conceded 17 along the way.
Borussia head into this one having won just one of their previous four in the Bundesliga.
A Disappointing Home Reverse
Last weekend, they crashed to a disappointing home reverse to Frankfurt, which was their second home league loss of the campaign.
They won 9-1 at SV Oberachern in the cup in July but have yet to win on the road in the league this season.
Monchengladbach will be desperate for their first away victory on the weekend, but toppling the league leaders will not be an easy task.
