🇩🇪 Union Berlin vs Schalke 🇩🇪 — Prediction
Bundesliga · Matchday 3 · Fri, 11 Sept 2026, 20:30 CEST · Stadion An der Alten Försterei, Berlin
Why we called it
Union under Mauro Lustrinelli have been open at both ends: a 3-3 home draw with Frankfurt, where Emmanuel Latte Lath scored after three minutes, was followed by a toothless 0-4 at Leverkusen with the Latte Lath and Marin Ljubicic front two starved of service. Schalke are yet to score in the Bundesliga after a 0-3 loss at Augsburg, but Miron Muslic's 3-4-2-1 with Loris Karius, Nikola Katic and Robin Gosens held Bayern to a 0-0 and Moussa Sylla remains a lone striker with Edin Dzeko off the bench. We class Union as clear but not overwhelming home favourites against a promoted side that defends well but creates little, so a tight 1-0 with Latte Lath the likeliest scorer at the Alte Försterei.
