FC Union Berlin Team News
After the terrible start of the Europe League with two defeats after the first two games, Union Berlin has won two back-to-back games and is back to life in Group D. They have six points after four games and this game against Sporting Braga is crucial. If they lose this game they are out of Europe League.
Union Berlin was in the run of six consecutive wins before they suffered an unexpected defeat against Bochum on Sunday with a 2-1. Union Berlin is one of the major surprises in European football. After 11 games in Bundesliga, they are the league’s leader with 23 points above Bayern Munchen.
Union Berlin is a very compact team. They didn’t allow too many goals but at the same time, they don’t score too many of them. They have the best defensive record in Bundesliga (with Bayern) and only Freiburg has more clean sheets than them.
In Europe League Union Berlin all four games ended with a 1-0/0-1 score. Which is amazing.
Sporting Braga Team News
Sporting Braga started Europe League with two wins against Malmo and Union Berlin without conceding a goal. But in the next two games, they pick up only one point two games against Royal Union. They are still in a good position to finish in one of the first two places but they must avoid defeat against Union Berlin in Germany. Braga has won only one point against Royal and in both games, they were leading 1-0 and 3-1.
Braga was in the run of four games without a win in all competitions but in the last 10 days, they win two consecutive games against Felgueiras in Taca de Portugal and Estoril in Primera Liga.
Since the start of the season, Braga has had a very good away-from-home record. They suffered only one defeat this season in all competitions and it was against Porto in September. In every away game they scored at least one goal.
Braga secured at least 3rd place in this group and Conference League because they have seven points more than Malmo two games before the end.
H2H
Back in September Braga won at Braga Municipal Stadium 1-0.
Team News and Injuries
Union Berlin: Kevin Mohwald is injured.
Sporting Braga: Sikou Niakate is injured.
FC Union Berlin vs. Sporting Braga Prediction
The stake is big. Both teams want to win this game. For Braga that will mean Europe League football from February and for Union Berlin that will mean 2nd place round before the end and a good chance to maybe finish in the first place if Royal fails to beat Malmo.
Union is very hard to break and beat the team but Sporting Braga showed that they can do that. We expect a completely different game this time between these teams and we will skip a full-time bet and go for goals.
