Union Berlin vs. Augsburg preview: An outside chance of European qualification

Union Berlin vs. Augsburg preview: An outside chance of European qualification Union Berlin Union enter matchday 34 in 12th place in the Bundesliga table after winning nine, drawing nine and losing 15 of their 33 matches this season. Last weekend, Die Eisernen ended a six-game winless run with a 3-1 success against Mainz 05.

The two sides looked set to play out a 1-1 draw at the Mewa Arena until Oliver Burke and Josip Juranović scored two late goals to seal the first win of Marie-Louise Eta’s interim tenure. Eta will now oversee the final game of her temporary spell in charge before she starts her new job as head coach of Union’s women’s team. The 34-year-old will be aiming to lead the men’s side to back-to-back league victories, something Union have not achieved since December.

However, their hopes of claiming maximum points may be tempered by the fact they have not beaten Augsburg at home since recording a 2-0 victory in January 2020. Team News The hosts enter the final matchday without Frederik Rønnow, Matheo Raab and David Preu due to injury. Meanwhile, Derrick Köhn is suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards.

Predicted lineup: Klaus; Trimmel, Doekhi, Leite, Rothe; Khedira, Kemlein; Burke, Ansah, Burcu; Ilić Augsburg Augsburg are sitting in ninth spot after winning 12, drawing seven and losing 14 of their 33 league games this season.
