The opponents

With five games already played in the main round, 1. FC Nürnberg stand in sixth place with four points. The Mittelfranken side have one win, one draw, and three losses, with a goal difference of 6-16. All four of FCN's points were earned at home, while the three losses were suffered away.

The head to head

In the four times the sides have met so far, three have ended in a draw, while one was won by Saturday's guests. However, all four matches took place in Franconia, and Saturday will see the first meeting in Köpenick. The last fixture seemed to be heading towards an Union win until shortly before the end. But, the hosts came, securing a point at the final whistle, with a 3-3 draw.

The coach's view ahead of the Match

“We gained a lot of experience in the first half of the season and know how tight every match is and how much it depends on small things,” said Marie-Louise Eta, coach of the A-Junior team, during mid-week. “We want to take the next step, make better use of good phases of play, and be more efficient overall to achieve a positive result at the end.”
