FC Union Berlin vs Borussia Mönchengladbach Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

The Foals emerged victorious when these teams last faced each other.

FC Union Berlin are all set to lock horns with Borussia Mönchengladbach for their matchweek 7 fixture of the German Bundesliga 2025-26 edition. This is going to be an interesting fixture, which will take place at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.

Eisern Union are going to be at their home and it is going to be a big confidence booster for them. They fell prey to Bayer Leverkusen in their previous league fixture. It was an underwhelming performance by FC Union Berlin.

They will now be looking to bounce back. The hosts have two wins to their name in the league this season.

Borussia Mönchengladbach are desperate for a win here. They are still winless in the ongoing campaign of the Bundesliga. The Foals were held to a draw in their previous game of league.

They have now lost three games, and the other three ended in a draw for them. The visitors will be low on confidence.
