Only a positive result will be acceptable for Urs Fischer’s men, following their recent away defeat at the hands of RB Leipzig in their last match.

Also, Union Berlin keep finding the winning formula this season, that’s four in a row now. Now they have 14 matches won, 9 games lost and 9 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in sixth place, with a total of 50 points having won 14 meetings, drawn nine games, and lost nine fixtures.

Union Berlin will welcome Greuther Fürth to the An der Alten Försterei Stadium, safe in the knowledge that their home record this season is outstanding. This is further strengthened by their good home results, as they have won nine games, drawn four meetings, and lost two games in the 15matches they’ve played so far this season.

Winning this fixture will see Union Berlin on 53 points.

Union Berlin’s squad has depth, but even so, Urs Fischer is likely to be missing two of they key players when they start Friday’s game.

Greuther Fürth need a positive result from this game, if they are to move their season forward. Their last match resulted in a loss to Bayer Leverkusen, before that they drew away to Hoffenheim, 0-0.

Also, with relegation a real prospect for Greuther Fürth, Stefan Leitl must stop the poor run of form that has produced 10 losses in 20 games. With 17 points, they currently sit eighteenth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 3 wins, 20 losses and 9 draws having won three matches, drawn nine fixtures, and lost 20 meetings.

Greuther Fürth now travel, knowing that their current away form is woeful. So far this season they have drawn three meetings and lost 12 matches matches on the road.

Greuther Fürth will have secured 20 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

Greuther Fürth are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Stefan Leitl is concerned that Friday’s fixture could see him without four of his key players
