Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 31st August 2025

As the early season favourites, Borussia Dortmund will look to justify their title credentials this coming Sunday when they take on Union Berlin for a round 2 match in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund perhaps would have hoped for more in their opening match of the season, but eventually had to settle for a point.

Borussia Dortmund failed to win their Bundesliga opening match, when they settled for a single point on the board.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Signal Iduna Park as the teams look to get one over each other.

Before their upcoming match in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund are performing absolutely brilliant, when it comes to goal scoring. In the past ten outings, they performed a formidable average of 2.9 goals per game. An awe-inspiring total of 29 goals. They let 15 goals slip in, which creates an average of 1.5 per game. During this run they fought their way to two clean sheets.

Union Berlin managed a bearable 15 goals from their past ten games, creating an average of 1.5 goals per game. They conceded 14 goals in total, and while claiming two clean sheets, they conceded 1.4 goals an average per game.

Union Berlin were knocked out cold when Borussia Dortmund took a 6-0 win in their latest encounter. It served as pay back for the 2-1 defeat, Union Berlin handed out in the game before.

Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin Prediction

Borussia Dortmund Form

Borussia Dortmund collected one of each from their previous three matches, as they were defeated 3-2 against Real Madrid. They retaliated in a 0-1 win against RW Essen, before drawing 3-3 with St. Pauli. Borussia Dortmund won five of their last six Bundesliga matches at Signal Iduna Park, scoring 19 and conceding four along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.

Union Berlin Form

Union Berlin are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Augsburg got left behind in a 1-2 win, before FC Guetersloh got hammered in a 0-5 victory. VfB Stuttgart was the most recent victim in a 2-1 win for Union Berlin. Union Berlin managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Bundesliga away matches, in which they scored seven while also conceding ten times. They also experienced two draws and one defeat.

Anything but a home win would be a stunning result, and we back Borussia Dortmund not to be stunned, just like we back numerous goals to be scored when they face Union Berlin.
