Union Berlin vs Real Madrid – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 12/12/2023

Union Berlin and Real Madrid will face each other on the afternoon of this Tuesday, December 12, 2023, starting at 5 pm, in a game valid for the 6th and final round of the group stage of the European Champions League. The duel will be played at the Olympic Stadium, in the city of Berlin, Germany.

Union Berlin

After having a high-level season, Union Berlin has found it very difficult to remain competitive in the current season and has not yet managed to win a single round in the Champions League.

Considered an underdog even when playing in front of their fans, the German team will try to surprise the group leader and biggest winner in the history of the competition.

However, the Germans no longer have the chance to advance to the next stage in the competition, but the two draws recorded previously left them with a chance to fight for a place in the Europa League playoffs.

In the last round the team faced Braga in Portuguese territory and even opened the scoring with the right to play with an extra player throughout the second stage, but was unable to maintain its advantage for long and ended up conceding the draw by 1 to 1 to the rival.

The result left them in the fourth and last position on the Champions League Group C leaderboard, with only 2 points achieved so far, two behind Braga, who occupy third place.

In their 5 most recent duels, only 1 victory, 3 draws and 1 defeat were recorded, beating Borussia Monchengladbach, drawing with Braga, Napoli and also with Augsburg, in addition to losing to Bayer Leverkusen.

Acting as home team, the Union Berlin team recorded a recent performance with 3 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats in the last 10 matches played.

Real Madrid

And on the visitors’ side there is the Real Madrid team, from Spain, which has a huge tradition on the world stage and arrives as a big favorite to repeat the feat of the first round, when they beat the same Union Berlin.

In the last round, the Madrid team beat Napoli 4-2 at home, confirming not only their early classification but also their group leader.

Currently, the Spanish club is in first place, with 15 points achieved so far, with 100% success in the competition.

There were 4 wins, 1 draw and no defeats in the last 5 officially played games of the season, beating Valencia, Napoli, Cádiz and also Granada, in addition to drawing with Real Betis.

Acting as a visitor, the Real Madrid team has a recent record of 7 wins, 2 draws and only 1 defeat in the last 10 matches played.

Conclusion:

With five wins in five rounds, Real Madrid has the best campaign in the general classification and wants to end its participation in the group stage with impeccable performance and has everything it needs to achieve this feat, since its opponent is precisely the bottom of the group, which has not yet won once in the competition and has a squad that is technically far inferior to the Madrid team.
