Union Berlin are a side not to be underestimated, currently sitting just outside a Champions League qualification spot and safely into the German Cup quarter-finals. Gladbach halted an alarming slide down the table with a 2-1 win against an under-strength Bayern, but lost out to Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, despite Yann Sommer saving two penalties. Both teams faced German Cup away ties on Wednesday evening, but Union only had to travel across the capital to see off local rivals Hertha, while Gladbach were embarrassed in Northern Germany by second division strugglers Hannover. Adi Hutter's job must be hanging by a thread at Gladbach and another defeat here would surely spell the end for the Austrian coach. 1:1
Marvin Friedrich has joined from today's visitors and will probably start against his former club as Matthias Ginter prepares for a move away. Denis Zakaria, Keanan Bennetts, Mamadou Doucoure and Joe Scally are all fit after COVID. The former is being linked with a January move to Manchester United. Ramy Bensebaini has returned early from AFCON, while German international Jonas Hofmann is nearing a return from a knee op. Union have added Dominique Heintz from Freiburg to bolster defensive options and he could start after the sale of Marvin Friedrich. Niko Gießelmann is over a thigh injury, while Rani Khedira and Sheraldo Becker are fit after COVID, but Rick van Drongelen now has COVID too. Taiwo Awoniyi is a huge loss for Union while he is at the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria.
