Preview

On September 21, 2024, the match of the 4th round of the German championship between Union Berlin and Hoffenheim will take place at the stadium "An der Alten Försterei" in Berlin.

Union Berlin has started the season well, having collected 5 points in three rounds and maintaining a reputation as one of the most reliable teams in defense. After the opening draw with Mainz (1:1), Union was able to keep a clean sheet twice in a row. However, despite praise for the defense, the team's attack requires improvement. In terms of creativity and scoring, Urs Fischer's team is experiencing difficulties, which makes the task for the upcoming matches - to strengthen the game up front - especially important.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, got off to a poor start, having conceded 9 goals in the first three rounds and only collected 3 points. Oliver Baumann, the veteran and captain of the team, is playing his 495th match in the Bundesliga, but his form is questionable. Despite the high level of individual performance, Hoffenheim's defence remains a problem area.
