Holstein show intense pressing and are always looking for options up front. Unfortunately, such soccer makes the team very vulnerable in defense. The league’s most modest squad can’t keep up the pace throughout the match. No matter how sympathetically the club plays, it remains one of the main contenders for relegation.
Union adjusts to each opponent, somewhere includes high pressing, and if necessary, closes at the gate. The team relies on teamwork and efficiency. The players outrun Dortmund in the last round by as much as nine kilometers. And they were much more efficient and dangerous.
Holstein plays risky and is constantly punished for it. 16 conceded goals in six rounds is proof of that. At home, the team feels even more relaxed. An important point may be the absence of the captain in the lineup. Union is good at counterattacking. They are as efficient as possible this season and should confidently win.
