Borussia Mönchengladbach is coming into this match having had a tough time recently, losing their last two games. Before that, they managed a couple of draws and one win, so they haven't been in their best form. Union Berlin is also struggling for results, having lost three of their last five matches, with just one win and one draw in that period.

Looking at their recent meetings, the games have often been quite open with several goals, including a high-scoring match earlier this season. Historically, these two teams have traded wins, and their matches can be close, with some ending level.
