Round off Saturday's Bundesliga action, we have an interesting clash between Union Berlin and Dortmund. Having fought very hard to secure some pleasing results of late, losing none of their last five league games, the men from the capital should be feeling quite confident ahead of this game, especially as they recently got the better of RB Leipzig, showing a clear fondness for playing on the counter in games of this nature.
As for the visitors, well, they probably won't turn up in the highest of spirits having been downed by Spurs in the UEFA Champions League during the week, failing to score in the process. Fortunately, that was a first defeat in eight games for Niko Kovac's men, who still sit in a lofty second position. Having made light work of beating Union at home back in August, can they get back to winning ways at Stadion An der Alten Försterei?

Our Union Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
The hosts have developed a habit of finding the net of late, though they've also developed a habit of conceding, so don't be too surprised if goals go in at both ends at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Moreover, we know that the visitors have the offensive quality to hurt any Bundesliga team, but they're also weak on the break at times, as we saw during the week, while they've had less time to rest and prepare for this game than the hosts, meaning that they could easily come under a reasonable amount of defensive pressure.
Let's face it, the fact that both teams have notched in each of Union's last five at home, as well as in each of Dortmund's last six away, tells us that 'Both Teams to Score' is a little more likely than early odds of -120 would suggest.
