As the Bundesliga finale approaches, Borussia M’gladbach and Union Berlin gear up for an electrifying clash at BORUSSIA-PARK.
With both teams battling relegation, the stakes are high in this crucial encounter scheduled for April 28, 2024.
Match Preview
Both teams have had a tough season and are at risk of relegation. Union Berlin is in a particularly precarious position and could find themselves in the bottom three if results don’t go their way this weekend.
A loss to Gladbach, combined with wins for VfL Bochum and Mainz, would push Union into the relegation playoffs.
Union’s recent home match ended in a heavy 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich, marking their third consecutive loss and second consecutive home defeat.
Their last victory dates back to early March when they defeated Werder Bremen 2-1.
Union trails Gladbach by just two points in the Bundesliga table, making them both vulnerable to relegation.
Gladbach managed to secure a win in April with a convincing 3-1 victory over Wolfsburg, with goals from Kou Itakura, Nathan Ngoumou, and Rocco Reitz.
However, they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Union in the reverse fixture, highlighting their inconsistency.
Recent losses to Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim have further compounded Gladbach’s struggles, having lost 13 games this season and conceding 60 goals, second only to Darmstadt in the league.
