Union Berlin vs 1. FC Köln: Hosts looking for immediate revenge after midweek thrashing
Story updated
The story in brief
9-second readUnion Berlin were beaten comfortably 5-0 away in Köln in midweek in the DFB Pokal and are looking for immediate revenge in the Bundesliga on Sunday in back-to-back games against the West German side.
From the source
Union Berlin currently sit 16th in the table and also failed to win last weekend against Augsburg away from home getting a 1-1 draw. However, die Eisernen (the Iron ones) will most likely have been happy to grab a point against a side who started this season well in the Bundesliga following a strong end to last campaign.
This meant that Union were unbeaten in three games in a row before being thrashed by Köln on Tuesday. In spite of this, one thing that does not bode well for the capital city side is their form in front of goal.
Union have the joint-second least amount of goals in the league this season only having scored more than Schalke. Before the weekend game against Union Berlin, head coach Rene Wagner said: “It's a different game from Tuesday.
