Berlin Union has had a dismal start to the new Bundesliga season. They've yet to secure a win in the first two league games, conceding seven goals with a porous defense, and have just one point, sitting 15th in the league table. The team has prominent issues at both ends of the pitch. Despite having decent attacking capabilities, when they go forward, their defense leaves gaps. They fail to make timely cover and back - tracking, easily presenting counter - attack opportunities to opponents. In the first home game, they drew 3 - 3 with Frankfurt. Both teams were eager for their first win of the season, playing aggressively and creating a high - scoring six - goal spectacle. In the second away game, they were thrashed 0 - 4 by Bayer Leverkusen, with their defense completely broken down. In terms of the squad, the injury situation is dire. Striker Borke is out with a hamstring injury, and Iljic is also unavailable due to physical discomfort. Defensive core Friedrich, N'Soki, and Imiri are

Berlin Union's recent form has been far from ideal. In the new season, they've played two games, drawing one and losing one, accumulating just one point and sitting in the lower reaches of the league standings. In the first game, they managed a 3 - 3 draw at home against Frankfurt, showing some offensive capabilities. However, in the next game, they suffered a heavy 0 - 4 defeat away to Bayer Leverkusen. Their defense completely collapsed, conceding seven goals in two games, indicating a huge defensive problem. The injury situation is also a major concern for Berlin Union. Two key center - backs, Friedrich and N'Soki, are out injured, leaving the defense short - handed. Additionally, Bork and Illic are also unavailable, reducing the margin for error in the backline. Playing at their home ground, the Alte Försterei, the atmosphere is intense. The home crowd will be a great boost, but the team is in desperate need of points to get out of this slump.
