These predictions below for Union Berlin vs Real Madrid UEFA Champions League 2023/24 group stage match were made by Bookmaker Ratings. For more predictions on UCL, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and other European football leagues, visit our Football Predictions & Betting Tips page.
Union Berlin need only victory here; otherwise, their European season will come to an end. Theoretically, Union can beat Real Madrid.
But they will face a team that won both of their previous games away from home in this season’s campaign. Real Madrid are undefeated in seven away games (W5, D2, L0) in all competitions.
We expect that Real Madrid seek to extend their victories to six games here and finish the group stage with a 100% result.
We say Real Madrid will beat Union Berlin 3:1.
We expect to see at least two goals in this clash. Real Madrid scored at the very least two goals in their last two UCL away games.
Betting Tip: Total goals over 2
Union Berlin will host Real Madrid with the hope that they can take three points and keep their European football chances alive.
The German side have 2 points after 5 rounds. They are 2 points behind 3rd-placed Braga, who will play that evening against Napoli in Italy.
Union earned a point in their previous group stage match, drawing 1-1 against Braga. They are now unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions (W1, D2, L0).
Meanwhile, Real Madrid defeated Napoli 4-2 at home two weeks ago, registering their fifth Champions League victory in a row this season. Los Blancos are unbeaten in their last 14 games in all competitions (W11, D3, L0).
