Bundesliga 2024-2025: Union Berlin-Augsburg, the likely lineups
Union Berlin-Augsburg, the probable formations
Union Berlin and Augsburg arrive at tonight’s match paired on 16 points, +3 from the playout zone occupied by Heidenheim'Heidenheim. The two teams are going through a major crisis, Augsburg hasn't found a victory since late November, while Union Berlin has been missing the 3-point appointment since Oct. 20.
The Berlin team had made a good start to the season with only one defeat in the first 8 days, but in the next 8 came 7 defeats and a draw. The Union thus finds itself dangerously close to the relegation zone and absolutely must get back to winning ways as early as tonight.
Augsburg is coming off three consecutive defeats and has yet to win on the road in this Bundesliga. To dispel this tabù, coach Thorup relies on a 3-5-2, re-staffed due to injuries, with attacking pair Philip Tietz and Alexis Claude-Maurice, authors of 6 and 5 goals respectively this season.
Probable lineups
Union Berlin (3-4-3): Schwolow; Doekhi, Vogt, Leite; Trimmel, Khedira, Kemlein, Skov; Skarke, Jordan, Hollerbach. All. Baumgart
Augsburg (3-5-2): Dahmen; Matsima, Gouweleeuw, Bauer; Gumny, Onyeka, Jakić, Rexhbecaj, Giannoulis; Claude-Maurice, Tietz. All. Thorup
