Real Madrid vs Union Berlin Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Real Madrid vs Union Berlin should be a pre-decided contest but we still have high expectations. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Real Madrid started the season with five consecutive wins in La Liga but ona few occasions, they weren't extremely convincing with their performance. Union Berlin are a dangerous team that has grown a lot in the last two years. They will cause problems and will not give in easily. We expect a tough match with a good scoreline with at least three goals. We even suspect that Union may score a goal in this game.

Team To Score In Both Halves: Real Madrid

Real Madrid will not have it easy against Union Berlin but their squad is unbelievable and we expect them to score multiple times. Betting on them to win is pointless, so we are looking at alternative markets that provide more value. This is one of them. The odds for Real Madrid to score at least one goal per half are good and the chances are high because of Union's bad defensive form in the new season.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Real Madrid

As mentioned above, we think that Union have some chances in this game to at least score once. Real Madrid have not been perfect in defense since the start of the season and if they score early goals, we can expect them to leave more open spaces for Union in the second half. When we compare the Real Madrid vs Union Berlin line ups, we think that the home side has a massive advantage in strength.

Real Madrid vs Union Berlin Team Previews

Real Madrid Preview

Real Madrid finally look like they are picking up the pace with the new transfers and they look quite good right now. They can still get a bit more effective in attack but overall, they shouldn't have problems in this group in the Champions League. They are facing a debutant here, so we expect a strong performance and a lot of goals. The team has not won the CL in years and they will be eager to get going.

Union Berlin Preview

Union Berlin played an exceptional season in the Bundesliga and got a quota for the Champions League. In the new season, they continue to be extremely strong in attack but their defense is far worse than it was last year. In the previous season, they had one of the best defenses and right now, they seem to be a bit out of shape. We think that they have a chance to win some points in this group but not in this particular game.
