Betfair Odds

Union Berling has been one of the most aspiring teams in recent years. They were promoted to the Bundesliga in 2019, and after a fantastic season last year, this club has qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the very first time.

However, the German club already lost three of their first five games and is yet to win a match in the UCL. They will face Real Madrid tonight in the last match of the group round. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are the only club who won all their first five games in Group C. They are looking to secure all 18 points from the group round.

As it is their first participation in the UEFA Champions League, FC Union Berlin have played only one game against Real Madrid. However, they lost the first meeting with the Los Blancos by a 1-0 margin.
Playing in Germany has been a difficult situation for the Spanish giant Real Madrid. They lost their last game against RB Leipzig in Germany. Real Madrid, in addition, lost 10 of their first 15 meetings against a German club away from home. However, the Los Blancos recovered from that and won six of their last 11 games in Germany.
Real Madrid already have won their last two away games in the group round. A win over Union Berlin would see them winning three away games for only the second time in their last nine seasons in the UEFA Champions League.

Danilho Doekhi is out of Union Berlin’s squad due to a leg injury. In addition, the German club will miss the service of Sheraldo Becker as he got a knock during Berlin’s last game. However, the rest of the team are fit enough and ready to play their final game in the group round.

As for Real Madrid, several key players will be missing in the game against Union Berlin. Dani Carvajal, Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois are out of the team due to their respective injury.

However, Kepa is set to return between the bars after an injury. “Kepa will be our goalkeeper tomorrow. I don’t think it’s unfair to leave someone on the bench because that would make it unfair all the time. Lunin has had a chance to get a run in the team and he did well. He and all of us are delighted to have a goalkeeper we can trust. Kepa didn’t have to show it in the same way as he’s already shown it over his career. Kepa has always done a fantastic job whenever he’s played,” Carlo Ancelotti confirmed in the press conference.

Possible Lineup for Union Berlin:

Ronnow; Juranovic, Knoche, Leite, Roussillon; Volland, Tousart, Khedira, Laidouni, Gosens; Behrens

Possible Lineup for Real Madrid:

Kepa; Vazquez, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Ceballos, Modric; Diaz; Rodrygo, Joselu

Prediction: Union Berlin 0-2 Real Madrid

As Real Madrid already secured the Round of 16, manager Carlo Ancelotti will likely rotate his squad. He may test his bench against Union Berlin, yet it will be very difficult for the home side to score against the Spanish Giant. The entire squad of Real Madrid are very inspired after winning five out of five games in the UCL. They will do everything to extend their winning run.
