After the opening round of the group matches Union Berlin are number four on zero points, while Braga have zero points as number three.
Union Berlin fought incredibly hard at the Bernabeu in their first-ever match in the Champions League but came away empty-handed, nevertheless. A late goal by Jude Bellingham sent Union packing with only a good performance to tell about.
