Union Berlin - Borussia Dortmund

Serhou Guirassy remains the focal point for Borussia Dortmund as they travel to face Union Berlin on 17 October 2026 for matchday 6 of the Bundesliga. The forward spearheads an expected XI that aims to bounce back from a midweek European setback. Dortmund have shown resilience in their domestic campaign, notably securing a hard-fought victory against Stuttgart in September. With Nico Schlotterbeck anchoring the defence, the visitors will look to exploit any gaps left by a Union side still searching for consistency after a difficult run of results earlier this autumn.

Union Berlin enter this fixture at Alte Foersterei buoyed by a narrow 1-0 win over Elversberg. Despite the injury-enforced absences of Emmanuel Latte Lath and Josip Juranovic, the expected XI features a robust midfield trio of Rani Khedira, Andras Schafer, and Michel Aebischer. The hosts will need to overcome a challenging head-to-head record, having lost their most recent league meeting 3-0 in January. Success for Union will depend on Frederik Roennow maintaining his composure against a potent Dortmund attack that has demonstrated a high scoring capacity throughout the opening weeks of the season.
