    Union Berlin and Schalke 04 will meet at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei with both sides still waiting for their first Bundesliga victory of the season. Union have collected just one point from their opening two matches after drawing 3-3 with Eintracht Frankfurt before suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat away to Bayer Leverkusen. The poor result against the champions highlighted defensive problems that Mauro Lustrinelli will be eager to address, particularly after Union struggled for consistency during the previous campaign. Their home record has also offered little reassurance, with only two competitive victories at home during 2026, making Friday’s fixture an important opportunity to change the mood around the club. Schalke arrive in a slightly more encouraging position despite also remaining without a win. The newly promoted side began the campaign with a 3-0 loss to Augsburg, although their performance was complicated by Ron Schallenberg’s red card while they were only one goal behind. Miron Muslic’s team responded strongly in their next match by holding reigning champions Bayern Munich to a goalless draw. Goalkeeper Loris Karius played a major role in that result with a series of important saves, continuing to show why his experience could prove valuable during Schalke’s return to the top flight. Sitting 14th, Schalke have already demonstrated greater resilience than their opening defeat suggested and will see this fixture as a realistic chance to collect their first three points.

      Berlin Union's recent form has been far from ideal. In the new season, they've played two games, drawing one and losing one, accumulating just one point and sitting in the lower reaches of the league standings. In the first game, they managed a 3 - 3 draw at home against Frankfurt, showing some offensive capabilities. However, in the next game, they suffered a heavy 0 - 4 defeat away to Bayer Leverkusen. Their defense completely collapsed, conceding seven goals in two games, indicating a huge defensive problem. The injury situation is also a major concern for Berlin Union. Two key center - backs, Friedrich and N'Soki, are out injured, leaving the defense short - handed. Additionally, Bork and Illic are also unavailable, reducing the margin for error in the backline. Playing at their home ground, the Alte Försterei, the atmosphere is intense. The home crowd will be a great boost, but the team is in desperate need of points to get out of this slump.

      Berlin Union finds itself in the mid - table position this season. Their overall performance has been rather inconsistent, with wins and losses alternating over multiple rounds. There is a lack of stability, and both their offense and defense have shown fluctuations. The attacking ability in the front - field is erratic, and the defense sometimes concedes goals due to a lack of concentration. At home, the team has a certain ability to compete. The home atmosphere is excellent, with a high - intensity pressing game and decent resilience under pressure. However, when facing teams with strong pressing, they tend to lose their coherence in attack and defense. Berlin Union mainly plays in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation. In the midfield, S. Tousart is responsible for coordinating the offensive and defensive rhythm. He is good at both interceptions and organization. On the flanks, L. Trimmel is very accurate with his crosses. The team's performance lacks consistency, with fluctuations in both offe

      Berlin Union has long employed a formation with three central defenders and two wing - backs. They rely on intense physical confrontation to compress the midfield space and are good at creating goal - scoring opportunities through crosses from the flanks and set - pieces. Recently, the team has an average of 13.8 shots per game at home, and 10.2 clearances in the backcourt per game. The forwards on the team have a large running coverage area, and they show high enthusiasm in physical confrontations. However, Berlin Union's ball - possession ratio is not remarkable, with an average of 42.5% ball - possession rate per game. Their offensive build - up is rather slow. When facing the opponent's fast - counter attacks, the wing - backs' return - defending speed is insufficient, which makes it easy for the two sides of the defense line to expose gaps. Schalke 04 adopts a 3-4-2 formation to build its offensive and defensive system. The three-man backline stands compactly, contracting the defe

    • Venezia and Fiorentina head into their meeting at Stadio Penzo desperate to claim their first Serie A points of the season. Both clubs have lost their opening three league matches, leaving them at the bottom end of the table and under early pressure. Fiorentina have endured an especially chaotic start, with Fabio Grosso dismissed after only four competitive matches following a series of disappointing results. Their campaign began positively with a Coppa Italia victory over Benevento, but that momentum quickly disappeared as they suffered defeats to Roma, Frosinone and Torino without finding the consistency expected from a heavily rebuilt squad. Paolo Vanoli now returns to the Fiorentina dugout after helping the club avoid trouble last season, giving him the difficult task of stabilising a team that has undergone major changes during the transfer window. Several new arrivals, including Beto, Pedro Goncalves and Willy Gnonto, are expected to play important roles as Fiorentina look for an

After collecting only one point from matches against Charlton Athletic and Watford at the end of August, the Hammers have responded impressively with three consecutive victories. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have scored 10 goals across wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers, Derby County and Bolton Wanderers, showing considerable attacking confidence despite recording only one clean sheet in eight competitive matches this season. Jarrod Bowen has also made an important contribution, producing three goals and two assists from his six Championship starts. Wrexham have experienced a more inconsistent beginning to their campaign, with four draws from their opening six Championship fixtures. Phil Parkinson’s side have performed particularly well away from home, drawing with Cardiff City and Swansea City while also securing an impressive 3-0 victory at
