Union Berlin - Ajax Match Preview

Union Berlin will play against Ajax in the second leg of their matchup in the UEFA Europa League. The first leg ended 0:0.

Union Berlin surprised many with their great form in 2023. They are without a single defeat and have won six of the eight matches played in 2023 across all competitions. They are tied for first place with Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga, which is a great achievement for this relatively small club. Urs Fischer is doing fantastic things at the helm. Trimmel and Haberer will return after being suspended in the first leg.

Ajax is not in the first position in the Dutch league but they are also close to the leaders. As Union Berlin, this team is in solid form and is without a single defeat for thirteen matches in a row. What is interesting is that they had more draws than wins in those 13-matches undefeated streak (7 draws, 6 wins). They will need to outplay Union Berlin if they want anything from this match.

Even though the first match between these sides ended without a goal being scored, this match could be a whole different affair. Three or more goals have been scored in four out of the last five matches Union Berlin has played at home. Ajax scored at least one goal in all of their matches played this season away from home.
