Union Berlin Aims for First Win Against Winless Gladbach

BERLIN, Germany — FC Union Berlin will host Borussia Mönchengladbach on October 17, 2025, at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei for their matchweek 7 fixture in the German Bundesliga. The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. BST.

Union Berlin seeks a much-needed victory after a disappointing performance against Bayer Leverkusen in their last outing. Coach Steffen Baumgart‘s team holds a record of two wins, one draw, and three losses so far this season, placing them 13th in the standings. Meanwhile, Borussia Mönchengladbach, positioned 17th, is still looking for their first win of the campaign, having managed only three points from their six matches.

Union will rely heavily on young forward Ilyas Ansah, who has made an impact with four goals in his six appearances. Haris Tabakovic, with two league goals, will also be expected to contribute as they aim to secure three points against struggling Gladbach.

Mönchengladbach has faced a tough start this season, managing only three draws and three losses. Head coach Eugen Polanski‘s squad is desperate for results and hopes that a victory over Union could turn their fortunes around.

In terms of injuries, Union Berlin will be without Andrik Markgraf and Robert Skov, while Gladbach misses key players like Fabio Chiarodia and Tim Kleindienst. Despite their struggles, they have historically been competitive against Union, winning four out of the last seven encounters between the teams.

This clash is expected to be intense, with both sides yearning for a boost in confidence. The last meeting concluded with Borussia Mönchengladbach winning, but Union Berlin aims to change that narrative at home this time.
