FC Union Berlin @ Borussia Dortmund - August 31, 2025

The Borussia Dortmund will beat the FC Union Berlin. The total will go over.

Analyzing the metrics of both teams, it’s clear that Dortmund holds a significant advantage in offensive production. They average approximately 2.1 goals per game, compared to Union Berlin’s meager 1.0. Dortmund also boasts a far superior shot volume, with an average of 13.9 shots per match, including 4.5 on target. In contrast, Union Berlin manages about 12.2 shots with only 3.5 finding the target. This disparity in shots suggests that Dortmund has more opportunities to convert, amplifying their scoring potential.

Defensively, Dortmund commits fewer fouls (approximately 9.8 per match) in comparison to Union Berlin’s 12.4, which not only demonstrates a more disciplined approach but may also hinder Berlin’s ability to mount effective counterattacks. Dortmund’s passing accuracy of around 83.1% further indicates their ability to maintain possession, creating a higher likelihood of scoring opportunities. Given these statistics, it is reasonable to predict that Dortmund will not only secure the victory but also likely push the total score over the expected threshold due to their consistent goal-scoring ability combined with Berlin’s struggles defensively.
