Stats, data, info – all you need to know about Union Berlin v BVB | OneFootball

Has Borussia Dortmund recovered from the setback against Tottenham? After the 2-0 defeat in the Champions League, it's back to everyday business. On Saturday (January 24, 6:30 p.m.), BVB will visit 1. FC Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.

So far, the two clubs have faced each other 13 times in the Bundesliga. There has always been a winner. The Westphalians have won nine encounters, the Iron Ones four. The goal difference is clearly in favor of the Black and Yellows at 34:14, thanks to some decisive results such as 6-0, 5-0, and twice 3-0.

The Köpenickers have regularly returned to the capital empty-handed from Signal Iduna Park. They have tried their luck seven times and lost all seven matches in Dortmund. BVB also emerged victorious in two DFB-Pokal encounters. However, those matches were always close. In the 2016/17 season, Borussia needed a penalty shootout against the then second-division side, with Roman Weidenfeller saving two shots; in 2018/19, it at least took extra time.

This season, Dortmund are now unbeaten in eleven matches (7 wins, 4 draws). In fact, they have only lost once in their last 26 Bundesliga games, in mid-October 2025 (1-2 at FC Bayern Munich). In addition, they have recorded 18 wins and seven draws. With 39 points currently, the Black and Yellows are having their best season since 2018/19. Under then head coach Lucien Favre, the club even collected 45 points.

Nine goals – nine scorers

This year, BVB has scored three goals in every Bundesliga match. These nine goals have come from nine different scorers. In total, 14 Dortmund players have already made it onto the scoresheet. Despite weeks of drought, Serhou Guirassy leads the team internally with six goals. However, across the league, Guirassy's tally only puts him in eighth place.

But the Berliners can also boast a small run of success. Most recently, they have gone five games unbeaten (2 wins, 3 draws), defeating RB Leipzig (3-1) and earning a 1-1 draw away at VfB Stuttgart.

If BVB, like in the 3-2 win over FC St. Pauli last weekend, receives a penalty in the closing stages, Emre Can is exactly the right man for such a tricky task. Over the course of his Bundesliga career, the Dortmund captain has converted all eleven penalties he has taken, including four in stoppage time.
