Union Berlin vs. Augsburg: probable teams, match stats and LIVE blog!

bundesliga.com, 7 November 2022, 09:40
USMNT forward Jordan will hope to get back among the goals when Union Berlin host Augsburg on Wednesday, in their penultimate game before the 2022 World Cup break (kick-off: 8.30pm CET).
Latest

Jordan scored three across his first six Bundesliga appearances, but is currently six without a goal. Union have suffered three defeats in that time, including in two of their last three. Sunday's 5-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen ensured Bayern Munich finished Matchday 13 in top spot, whilst sending Urs Fischer's men down to third. They are, however, unbeaten in six home matches in the Bundesliga this term, winning five. Defender Paul Jaeckel and midfielder Genki Haraguchi could be rotated in, but first-choice goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow remains on the sidelines. Lennart Grill will deputise once more, after shipping five second-half goals at the weekend.

Augsburg are looking nervously over their shoulders rather than up with cautious optimism. Defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt leaves them with just a three-point cushion on the relegation zone, and without a win in five matches. In better news, central midfield pair Carlos Gruezo and Elvis Rexhbecaj are available again after serving mandatory one-match bans for an accumulation of yellow cards. Robert Gumny could also be reinstated at right-back after only being deemed fit enough for a place on the bench on Matchday 13. Ruben Vargas is an alternative to Mads Pedersen in the attacking wide areas, behind three-goal Fenerbahce loanee Mergim Berisha.

Match stats

Jordan's six-goal strike partner Sheraldo Becker is also six league games without scoring.

Union last lost at home in the Bundesliga on 13 February 2022 (3-0 vs. Borussia Dortmund).

Die Eisernen had the best defence in the division until the defeat to Leverkusen.

No team in the division has committed more fouls than Union (268) and Ausgburg (266) so far this season.

Berisha (two goals, two assists) and Florian Niederlechner (two goals, one assist) have been involved in all seven of Augsburg's goals across their previous four league games.

Augsburg are unbeaten in five of their six Bundesliga meetings with Union, including the last four (W3, D2, L1).
