Match Preview:
The international break certainly came at a good time for Union Berlin, who clearly needed a restart after failing to score a single goal across their last two Bundesliga outings.

Steffen Baumgart and his men have not rattled the net in 214 minutes of competitive football, though in calendar terms, their drought has lasted for almost a full month.

Another concern for Union is their poor defensive record, which has seen them concede 13 goals and keep just one Bundesliga clean sheet – the third-worst defensive showing in the competition.

Despite all those negatives, the Berlin-based club have done well to amass seven points, including four in their last three outings.

Speaking of Die Fohlen, interim boss Eugen Polanski will be hoping to continue rebuilding confidence, which was shattered by a woeful start to the campaign.

Gladbach became the second club this season to sack their manager, as Gerardo Seoane received his marching orders in mid-September following a poor run of results.

Since taking over, Polanski has managed to earn a couple of gritty draws against Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen, though sandwiched between those two results was a bonkers 6-4 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Match Prediction:
Both these teams need a confidence-boosting win, though considering how poor both have been during these early weeks of the season, that is unlikely. Union have had a few ups along the way, but their performance against Leverkusen last time out was particularly bleak. With that in mind, we are backing Monchengladbach to take advantage and seal another point.
