Union Berlin's home record faces Borussia Dortmund's unbeaten five-match form and two-game away record, with both the provisional table and absences adding context before kickoff.
Before kickoff
Form puts Dortmund's away record under the spotlight
The key question at An der Alten Försterei is whether Union Berlin can turn home advantage into resistance against a Borussia Dortmund side with four wins and one draw in its five-match recent-form sample. Union's equivalent sample reads one win, one draw and three losses, making the contrast clear without establishing a longer-term trend.
Home and away evidence
Union Berlin's home record this season is one win, one draw and one loss. At home, they have scored five goals, conceded six and kept one clean sheet. Dortmund have won both of their away games, scoring four goals and conceding two, with one clean sheet. Those records make Dortmund's away defensive performance the central test for Union's attack.
