Union Berlin vs Hansa Rostock Preview: Getting the team back together

Union Berlin

The team from the capital city had a terrific first part of the season until the very end before the season was halted for the World Cup. They were holding onto the top two positions, even leading the league at some point. At the same time, they had positive results in European competition as well. But, as the weeks went by, and the accumulation of games grew larger, sudden problems emerged with the team scrapping to get any points. They lost three out of their final five games before the break which they took with open arms so they can give them some much-needed rest. Their efficiency rating is surprisingly good with 24 goals scored even though they don’t have a star striker on their team. Sheraldo Becker emerged as their main striker with seven goals, and he also leads the team with four assists. Besides Andras Schafer being injured, the team will be at full strength against Hansa, but there will be a lot of substitutions as is expected.

Hansa Rostock

Hansa looks safe in the middle of the 2. Bundesliga table, but that placement is a bit misleading as the team is only four points away from the relegation zone. Hansa is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league, and that problem is something that might haunt them in the latter part of the season. They only scored 17 goals in as many games which is nowhere near enough to get them safely through the league even though right now they are in that position. The rest of the season will be a difficult affair for the Rostock club without delivering much-needed goals. Right winger Kai Proger currently leads the team in scoring with six goals, but he is the only positive story of their campaign when it comes to efficiency.
