On the first match day of the Bundesliga, we expect a meeting with particular explosiveness, because in the match between Union and RB meet two East German clubs in the upper house to each other. The prestige of the duel should be clear to everyone, because the Ostderby is nothing less than the power in the East in the Bundesliga. Not everyone will like the fact that this explosive game awaits us on Matchday 1, and the duel, as was to be expected, becomes a political issue.

The Union fans have already announced that they will boycott the duel to position themselves clearly against the "product RB". Certainly not a bad idea, however, so for many Union fans on the first match day is not the sporting in the foreground and the facts can also have a negative impact on the team on the court. Union Manager Ruhnert already guessed this and hoped for every opponent - just not RB at the start - but it turned out differently. The kick-off is on Sunday, 18.08.2019, at 18:00 clock in the stadium to the Old Forester.

The Ironheads will have to deal clearly with the league in their first season in the House of Lords. But the Köpenickers will do everything to ensure that the excursion to the upper house is not a fluke of the day, because after all they have fought hard for their excellence in the relegation against VfB Stuttgart. To make sure that the mission to stay in the league is realistic, Urs Fischer has relented, especially in the offensive, and has a total of 14 new entries. The season opener of the Cup was, with a safe 6-0 victory against the regional Germania Halberstadt, absolutely on schedule and the Köpenicker strongly underlined their ambitions for the House of Lords.

RB has always been on top for the last few seasons and the question is, can tactical fox Nagelsmann give the Red Bulls the next boost? They are still waiting for their first big title and they would love to play for the championship, after finishing last in third place last season. For the new season, especially many young players from the own youth department have come to the squad. Really significant signings, however, are left winger Lookman and the two midfield players Nkunku and Wolf. The only significant departure is Linkaußen Bruma. The Nagelsmann debut in the cup against the second division newly promoted from Osnabrück went 3: 2 to the Saxons. The Vfl proved to be a stubborn opponent, but in the end it was the individual class of the bulls that made the difference.

Free soccer tips

For the Ironheads, everything comes together at their premiere in the Bundesliga and the prestigious duel against the unloved bulls will be a tough job. The motivation to win the Ostderby and the premiere in the upper house should be maximum, but that will not impress the bulls and Nagelsmann. RB will follow its own plan and invoke its known strengths. You certainly will not approach the game as emotionally as the Berliners. Although the Iron can benefit from their home advantage, but as the fans want to boycott the game but over long distances, this advantage is partially obsolete. We believe RB will dominate the game over long distances and will clearly be the winner in the end. For a victory of the bulls there is a 1.74 quota at 888sport. If you do not have an account with the bookmaker, then you can even after registration via our link with a one-time 8.00 quota on the bulls.

In order to present themselves more dangerously this season, two new offensive players have been signed up with Ademola Lookman and Hannes Wolf. In the first competitive game this season, the offensive already worked very well and they scored against the second division side Osnabrück 3 goals. The defense, however, could not confirm the form of the last year and conceded 2 goals. Now an opponent is waiting with Union Berlin against which one is unbeaten since 3 games.
