Real Madrid v Union Berlin Betting Tips [20 September 2023]

Union Berlin’s debut in the Champions League is an away game at record winners Real Madrid on Wednesday. The two sides are drawn in Group C of this competition, which also has Napoli and Sporting Braga. Real Madrid will definitely go into this game as the favorites, and they are targeting a sixth straight win here. The record European club champions are enjoying a fine start to the season coming into this game. They lead the La Liga standings after their most recent win, 2-1 over Real Sociedad. Real Madrid have done well on the attacking front, scoring in each of their five matches. In four of the five games they have scored more than a goal. However, they have one clean sheet only in four matches. Both teams have scored in three of their last four matches.

Union Berlin’s Champions League journey starts with one of the toughest encounters they’d have dreamt of. They play a side unbeaten in the last seven Champions League games at home, winning six. Meanwhile, Union Berlin are coming from a second straight loss in their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Wolfsburg. They had earlier lost 3-0 to Leipzig and now are without a clean sheet in their last four games. What started as a solid season is slowly crumbling and Union will want a positive result here. One positive to hold on here is that they’ve scored in all but one of their five matches so far. Each of their opening five matches has had over 2.5 goals, and both teams scored in three of them. In each of their first three games, they scored four but the goals have dried up in the last two matches.

Union Berlin are set for a baptism by fire but they will bank on their scoring form, eyeing an upset. They aren’t really great defensively, an aspect also seen with Real Madrid. Our prediction for Real Madrid v Union Berlin is for both teams to score and Real Madrid to win.
