Match Stats

New Union Berlin manager Bo Svensson, who previously managed Mainz, started his tenure with a 1-1 draw against his former club on the opening weekend. Laszlo Benes, a recent addition to the team, scored the equalizer just two minutes after coming on, following a clever double substitution by Svensson.

Union Berlin is looking to maintain an unbeaten record in their first two Bundesliga matches for the fourth consecutive year. However, last season's promising start with two wins quickly turned into a losing streak of nine games, dropping them from the top to the bottom within two months. They eventually stabilized to finish 15th, marking their sixth straight season in the top flight.

Recent encounters with St. Pauli have been favorable for Union, especially at home, where they’ve gone unbeaten in the last eight meetings, winning seven. Against newly-promoted teams, Union has been strong, with only Heidenheim managing a victory in their last 11 meetings, and no newly-promoted side has won at Alte Forsterei.

St. Pauli’s return to the Bundesliga was disappointing, losing 2-0 to Heidenheim despite having more shots and possession. The club, with its recent history of struggling in the top flight, will hope to break a trend of poor starts, as they have never lost their opening two Bundesliga games, though they face a tough challenge in Berlin.


Prediction:  Union Berlin 2-1 St Pauli
